An information processing apparatus controls a vehicle having a service power supply used to provide a service and a driving power supply used for traveling. The information processing apparatus has a storage unit configured to store service-related information concerning the service provided by the vehicle, and a controller configured to select any of a first mode, in which the service power supply and the driving power supply are independently used, and a second mode, in which the service power supply and the driving power supply are shared, based on the service-related information.

A plate member joining structure includes a lower plate that is made of metal, a fitting base portion being formed at an upper surface of the lower plate; an upper plate that is made of metal, that is disposed on the upper surface of the lower plate, and that has a fitting insert portion that is fitted to the fitting base portion so as to form a first gap between a lower surface of the fitting insert portion and a surface of the fitting base portion facing the lower surface of the fitting insert portion; and a screw that, in a state in which the fitting insert portion is fitted to the fitting base portion, is screwed into the fitting insert portion and the fitting base portion, and joins the fitting insert portion and the fitting base portion together in a plate thickness direction.

To obtain a vehicle body lower portion structure that can efficiently absorb and disperse load of a front or rear collision including an offset collision or an oblique collision, and transmit the load to an underbody. A vehicle body lower portion structure has an underbody at which a dash lower portion and a lower back portion are provided to stand from both ends in a vehicle front-rear direction at a floor portion, a suspension member the length direction thereof is along a vehicle transverse direction and is joined to the underbody in a state of planarly-contacting a front surface of the dash lower portion, and a front EA member a length direction thereof is along the vehicle transverse direction and is joined to a front wall of the suspension member.

In a vehicle body side structure, an impact beam () is mounted to a door inner panel () by an impact beam extension (). A part of the impact beam extension () that extends from an impact beam fixing part () to the door inner panel () serves as a load transmission part () capable of transmitting a load from the impact beam () to the door inner panel (), and the extension line therefrom is directed at the centroid Cof the body pillar (). With a simple structure such as this, at the time of a side impact it is possible to transfer a load from the impact beam () in a straight line to the centroid Cof the body pillar () while suppressing the twisting moment of the body pillar ().
