1. A driving support device mounted in an own vehicle, the driving support device comprising:
an in-vehicle camera that captures a driver image;
at least one processor that detects peripheral vehicles positioned in a periphery of the own vehicle, and when a number of the peripheral vehicles positioned in the periphery of the own vehicle is greater than a preset number, generates an image representing dispositions of the own vehicle and the peripheral vehicles after excluding one or more peripheral vehicles having no collision possibility with the own vehicle, by trimming out from the image the one or more peripheral vehicles in an adjacent lane farther away from a lane to which the own vehicle intends to switch, based on lane change intention information of the own vehicle; and
a display, provided in a place visually recognizable to a driver who drives the own vehicle, in which the image is displayed, wherein
the at least one processor identifies, among the peripheral vehicles, a peripheral vehicle having a possibility of collision with the own vehicle, based on the driver image that shows the driver's line of sight, generates the image that includes vehicle information representing relative dispositions of the own vehicle and the peripheral vehicles using symbols indicating each of the own vehicle and the peripheral vehicles, and visually differentiates the symbol corresponding to the peripheral vehicle having the possibility of collision, from the symbols corresponding to the other peripheral vehicles.
