Driving assistance apparatus

A driving assistance apparatus includes: an assist device configured to perform a steering assist in which a steering torque for steering a vehicle in a direction away from a pedestrian is applied to the vehicle; and a canceller configured to cancel the steering assist if a cancellation condition is satisfied. The cancellation condition includes: a first condition caused by that at least a part of a traffic lane is not recognized; and a second condition caused by that a vehicle operation by a driver is performed. The canceller applies a steering torque in an opposite direction, which is opposite to a direction of the steering torque applied by the steering assist, to the vehicle if the first condition is satisfied, and is configured to increase a torque change amount per unit time of the steering torque in the opposite direction in comparison with when the second condition is satisfied.
