VEHICLE DRIVING OPERATION SUPPORT APPARATUS/METHOD AND VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A vehicle driving operation support apparatus comprising:
- an environment sensing section configured to sense an environment surrounding a vehicle;
a traveling condition sensing section configured to sense a traveling condition of the vehicle;
a vehicle control section configured to control the vehicle on a basis of a control setpoint;
a provisional control setpoint setting section configured to;
calculate a risk potential of the vehicle on a basis of the sensed environment and the sensed traveling condition; and
set on a basis of the calculated risk potential the control setpoint to a provisional setpoint effective for reducing the risk potential;
a driver'"'"'s reaction sensing section configured to sense driver'"'"'s operation in reaction to the controlling operation of the vehicle control section with the control setpoint set to the provisional setpoint; and
a normal control setpoint setting section configured to set the control setpoint to a normal setpoint on a basis of the sensed driver'"'"'s operation.

Abstract
A motor vehicle includes a vehicle driving operation support system. The vehicle driving operation support system senses an environment surrounding the motor vehicle; senses a traveling condition of the motor vehicle; calculates a risk potential of the motor vehicle on a basis of the sensed environment and the sensed traveling condition; controls the motor vehicle on a basis of a control setpoint. The vehicle driving operation support system sets on a basis of the calculated risk potential the control setpoint to a provisional setpoint effective for reducing the risk potential; senses driver'"'"'s operation in reaction to the controlling operation with the control setpoint set to the provisional setpoint; and sets the control setpoint to a normal setpoint on a basis of the sensed driver'"'"'s operation.
