1. A driving support apparatus, comprising:
a surrounding sensor capable of detecting a first object and a second object, the first object being a moving object present in a predetermined first area including a direct front of an own vehicle, and the second object being a moving object present in a predetermined second area including front lateral areas of the own vehicle, wherein,
with respect to a reference orientation defined with respect to a front-rear axis of the own vehicle,
the first area is positioned in an area within which a magnitude of an azimuth angle at a front edge center portion of the own vehicle is less than or equal to a predetermined angle threshold with respect to the reference orientation, and
the second area is positioned in an area within which a magnitude of an azimuth angle from the front edge center portion is larger than the angle threshold with respect to the reference orientation; and
a control unit configured to execute autonomous braking control for automatically applying braking force to the own vehicle when a collision condition is satisfied, the collision condition being satisfied in a case when there is a possibility that the own vehicle collides with a moving object, wherein,
the control unit is configured to, when a target object which is a moving object satisfying the collision condition is in the second area, reduce a magnitude of the braking force applied by the autonomous braking control, as compared to when the target object is in the first area.
