Abstract:
A safety confirmation assist device is equipped with a presenting unit which presents visible information at a position that a driver of a vehicle can recognize it visually, an object detection unit which detects an object approaching the vehicle; and a control unit which controls the presenting unit, if the object detection unit detects the object, to present the visible information moving in a same direction as a left-right component of a direction in which the object is approaching the vehicle while moving the visible information. The control unit controls the presenting unit so that a movement range of the visible information is located on only the left side or the right side, which is the same side of the vehicle as the object is located, of a boundary that defines the left side and the right side for the driver.
