    Abstract: There are provided a driving assistance device and a computer program that provide appropriate driving assistance that does not place a burden on a passenger of a vehicle when an obstacle which becomes a factor that hinders travel of the vehicle is present on a planned travel route of the vehicle. Specifically, when an obstacle which becomes a factor that hinders travel of a vehicle is present on a planned travel route of the vehicle, a cost indicating a burden on a passenger is calculated for a plurality of candidates for avoidance operation for avoiding the obstacle, avoidance operation recommended to avoid the obstacle is selected from among the plurality of candidates for avoidance operation by comparing the calculated costs, a travel path recommended for the vehicle to travel along is generated in accordance with the selected avoidance operation, and driving assistance for the vehicle is provided based on the generated travel path.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for selecting a pull-over location using machine learning. One of the methods includes obtaining data specifying a target pull-over location for an autonomous vehicle travelling on a roadway. A plurality of candidate pull-over locations in a vicinity of the target pull-over location are identified. For each candidate pull-over location, an input that includes features of the candidate pull-over location is processed using a machine learning model to generate a respective likelihood score representing a predicted likelihood that the candidate pull-over location is an optimal location. The features of the candidate pull-over location include one or more features that compare the candidate pull-over location to the target pull-over location. Using the respective likelihood scores, one of the candidate pull-over locations is selected as an actual pull-over location for the autonomous vehicle.
