A driving operation handover system includes a memory and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to: acquire a first characteristic value of preset setting characteristics during travel of a vehicle equipped with a manual operation unit that an occupant operates; acquire a second characteristic value of the preset setting characteristics during travel of a virtual vehicle that simulates the vehicle, which a remote operator operates using a remote operation unit; calculate a difference value between the first characteristic value and the second characteristic value; in a case in which the difference value is lower than a setting threshold value, notify the occupant and the remote operator that operation of the vehicle can be handed over; and after notification, switch operation of the vehicle from one of the remote operator or the occupant to another of the remote operator or the occupant.

Driving operation handover system and vehicle

A remote operation system includes a processor that is configured to acquire position information and communication quality information from each of plural vehicles on a regular basis, create position-specific communication quality information in which the position information and the communication quality information are associated with each other, supply the position-specific communication quality information to an operator of a remote operation target vehicle.

A component manufacturing method includes: disposing, in a fluid, an unprocessed component having a hole that has an opening in an outer surface of the unprocessed component; creating a flow of the fluid such that air bubbles resulting from laser peening performed by irradiating an inner wall of the hole of the unprocessed component with a laser beam in the fluid flow along the hole; setting an irradiation area of the laser beam in an inner surface of the hole; and in the fluid of which the flow has been created, irradiating the irradiation area with the laser beam from the side of the outer surface through the opening.

Component manufacturing method and component

A manufacturing method for a shaftby imparting a residual compressive stress to an inner surfaceof the lateral holeof the workpieceincludes a disposing step and an irradiation step. In the disposing step, a lateral-hole mirroris disposed inside the lateral hole. In the irradiation step, a laser beam L is emitted from one of an inner-side openingand an outer-side openingof the lateral holetoward the lateral-hole mirror, making the laser beam L reflect on the lateral-hole mirror, and thereby applying the laser beam L to the inner surfaceof the lateral hole
