Abstract: To provide a parking assistance apparatus capable of achieving easier leaving parking space. A parking assistance apparatus includes a detection section detecting a first parking space in which a vehicle can be parked, and a control section forward parking the vehicle in the first parking space. When a second parking space in which the vehicle can be parked in front of the vehicle entering the first parking space, the control section causes the vehicle that has been already under control to be forward parked in the first parking space to enter the second parking space from the first parking space and to be parked in the second parking space.

Abstract: Provided is a parking assistance apparatus that performs parking assistance based on a training route of a vehicle in training traveling. The parking assistance apparatus includes a processor that determines whether a current position of the vehicle is outside the training route based on the current position of the vehicle and the training route. The processor outputs, in a case where the current position of the vehicle is outside the training route, a command to notify an occupant in the vehicle.
