    a support processor configured to perform driving support processing for outputting an alarm when the support processor (i) determines that an own vehicle, driven by a person, intends to cross an opposite lane at the intersection of the road and (ii) determines based on the acquired detection information that an object exists or the object is approaching in a direction in which the own vehicle travels to cross the opposite lane at the intersection of the road, wherein both;

    (iii) the support processor performs the driving support processing when the acquirer acquires detection information by the vehicle detection sensor for detecting a vehicle traveling on the opposite lane and approaching the intersection of the road, and(iv) the support processor does not perform the driving support processing when the acquirer acquires detection information by the human detection sensor for detecting a person existing ahead of the opposite lane in a direction in which the own vehicle travels to cross the opposite lane and does not acquire detection information by the vehicle detection sensor.
