Patent attributes
Provided are a driving assistance apparatus and a steering control method thereof, which are capable of reducing impact on a steering wheel. The driving assistance apparatus includes a steering sensor that measures a steering manipulation signal based on a driver's manipulation of a steering wheel during control of a parking assistance device; and a control unit that, when the steering manipulation signal measured by the steering sensor is received, stops the control of the parking assistance device, changes a control torque value, which corresponds to a required steering angle when the control of the parking assistance device is stopped, to a target torque value based on the driver's manipulation of the steering wheel, wherein a torque variation is changed at a preset slope or for a preset time.
