1. An automatic driving assistance system to be applied to a vehicle, the automatic driving assistance system comprising:
an intersection detector configured to detect, on a basis of a traveling environment in a predetermined range of a target traveling course in front of the vehicle, an interval between consecutive intersections that is shorter than a predetermined interval within the predetermined range of the target traveling course in front of the vehicle, the traveling environment being to be acquired on a basis of road map data to be acquired by a road map data acquisition section and traveling-environment data on an environment in front of the vehicle to be acquired by a camera unit; and
an adaptive-cruise-control-set-vehicle-speed changing section configured to change, in a case where the intersection detector detects the interval between consecutive intersections as being shorter than the predetermined interval, an adaptive-cruise-control set vehicle speed from a first adaptive-cruise-control set vehicle speed that is set to a second adaptive-cruise-control set vehicle speed.
