The disclosure allows an occupant to control a vehicle as needed for the vehicle that automatically moves to a destination. An inverted pendulum type vehicle that travels while balancing an inverted pendulum type body includes: an operation input part that receives a driving operation of its own vehicle by a weight shift of an occupant; and a movement control part that causes the own vehicle to start automatic movement on a predetermined route at a predetermined time. The movement control part allows the own vehicle to deviate from the predetermined route and travel in a second direction when a weight shift greater than a threshold value is performed in the second direction other than a traveling direction related to the predetermined route during execution of the automatic movement.

The disclosure supports accident prevention or evacuation action of a user who is on board a moving body when a disaster occurs. A moving body control device includes: a moving body control part that controls a moving body maintained in a first state or a second state that is more stable than the first state by a balance control mechanism; and an event detection part that detects an occurrence of a predetermined event. The moving body control part stops the moving body from traveling and causes the moving body to change to the second state regardless of a driving operation of the moving body by an occupant of the moving body in a case where the event detection part detects the occurrence of the predetermined event.

Provided is an imaging system including an imager configured to image a ridable moving object positioned at a registered photo spot, and a processor configured to execute a program to cause a guide to guide the ridable moving object on which a user gets and which is positioned near the photo spot to a recommended position in the photo spot.

Imaging system, guidance control method, and storage medium

A vehicle includes: a vehicle body frame; a drive unit provided on the vehicle body frame and movable on a floor surface; a seat disposed above the vehicle body frame to support buttocks of a user; a lift unit provided between the vehicle body frame and the seat to raise and lower the seat between a low position and a high position; and at least one support member extending downward from the seat and provided, at a lower portion thereof, with a footrest for supporting soles of the user. The support member is provided to be displaceable vertically relative to the seat, and the support member is displaced such that a distance between the seat and the footrest when the seat is in the high position is greater than a distance between the seat and the footrest when the seat is in the low position.

Vehicle including a drive unit and a seat provided on the drive unit via a lift unit

A ridable moving object on which a user gets is provided. The ridable moving object includes a processor configured to execute a program to determine that the user has been away from the ridable moving object, detect a usage intention of another person different from the user for the ridable moving object, and generate an action command for causing the ridable moving object to perform a prescribed operation on a basis of setting information set for at least one of the user and the ridable moving object when it is determined that the user has been away from the ridable moving object and the usage intention of the another person for the ridable moving object has been detected.

Ridable moving object, control device for ridable moving object, control method, and storage medium

An information processing device includes a storage medium that stores computer-readable instructions, and a processor connected to the storage medium, in which the processor executes the computer-readable instructions to acquire virtual experience information indicating that a user has been provided with a virtual travel service to experience a virtual travel, and purchase information indicating that the user has purchased a right to receive a real travel service to experience a real travel, in a case where the virtual experience information and the purchase information are acquired, generate grant information for granting an incentive for the user to purchase the right to a provider of the virtual travel service or a provider providing an apparatus used for the virtual travel service, and output the grant information.
