Abstract:
1. A vehicle driving assist system comprising: a host vehicle risk factor detection section configured to detect host vehicle risk factors related to a host vehicle; a peripheral risk factor detection section configured to detect peripheral risk factors in an area around the host vehicle; a host vehicle risk potential calculation section configured to calculate a host vehicle risk potential attributed to the host vehicle risk factors that are detected by the host vehicle risk factor detection section; a peripheral risk potential calculation section configured to calculate a peripheral risk potential attributed to the peripheral risk factors that are detected by the peripheral risk factor detection section; and a risk potential notification section configured to notifying a driver of the host vehicle risk potential calculated by the host vehicle risk potential calculation section with a host vehicle risk potential notification and the peripheral risk potential calculated by the peripheral risk potential calculation section with a peripheral risk potential notification using a common risk notification device for both the host vehicle risk potential notification and the peripheral risk potential notification.
