1. A vehicle movement assist system, comprising:
an external environment sensor unmovably fixed to a vehicle to detect an obstacle around the vehicle; and
a control device configured to acquire a position of the obstacle relative to the vehicle based on a result of detection performed by the external environment sensor and to execute an automatic moving process to autonomously move the vehicle,
wherein the control device is configured such that, during execution of the automatic moving process, the control device set a range for performing notification to a driver of the vehicle and/or executing a process including deceleration or stopping of the vehicle, if the object is detected in the range, the range including a front range set on a front side of the vehicle, a rear range set on a rear side of the vehicle, and a pair of lateral ranges set on either lateral side of the vehicle, the front range, and the rear range, and
wherein the control device is configured to change the range in accordance with a travel state of the vehicle,
wherein the vehicle is configured to change a travel direction in response to a change of a steering angle of a front wheel thereof,
the lateral range on an inner wheel side of turning when the vehicle moves forward to make a turn is larger than the lateral range on a corresponding side when the vehicle moves straight forward, and
the lateral range on an outer wheel side of turning when the vehicle moves backward to make a turn is larger than the lateral range on a corresponding side when the vehicle moves straight backward, and the front end portion thereof is widened laterally outward more than the rear end portion thereof.
