1. A vehicle obstacle detection device, comprising:
a sensor configured to intermittently transmit transmission waves and receive reflected waves that are generated by reflection of the transmission waves; and a controller configured to output a transmission signal for instructing the sensor to transmit the transmission waves, the controller being configured to evaluate, when the sensor receives the reflected waves with amplitude that is a prescribed threshold or more, a time period between a timing of outputting the transmission signal and a timing of reception of the reflected waves by the sensor, to detect presence or absence of an obstacle, wherein the sensor is configured to be driven with a power supply voltage to output the transmission waves, and wherein the controller comprises a voltage monitoring unit that is configured to detect the power supply voltage, the controller being configured to more reduce the prescribed threshold as the power supply voltage detected by the voltage monitoring unit is lower. |
