The control device includes an information processing device and a communication device. The information processing device extracts a group of users from the plurality of users based on passenger information of the plurality of users, the group of users being a group of users whose relationship with each other is a predetermined personal relationship, transmits to information terminal devices carried by the users belonging to the group, via the communication device, first display information indicating a current position of the shared vehicle, and transmits, in a case where a protection target user for whom a predetermined privacy protection requirement is satisfied is included in the group, second display information that is processed to protect privacy of the protection target user, to an information terminal device carried by a user not belonging to the group, via the communication device.

Control device, control method, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

A door control device has a processor configured to determine whether or not an emergency situation has occurred in a vehicle, based on operation by a user on an operating unit that is to be operated to open a door of the vehicle, and to decide to open the door when it has been determined by the first assessment unit that the emergency situation has occurred.

Door control device, storage medium storing computer program for door control, and method for door control

A vehicle control system is applied to a vehicle equipped with a magnetic sensor configured to detect a magnetic marker on a road. The vehicle control system executes a self-driving control by which self-driving of the vehicle is controlled. The vehicle control system executes a retreat traveling control using the magnetic marker in response to the occurrence of an abnormality in at least part of components and functions necessary for the self-driving control. The magnetic marker provides guidance information by which the vehicle is guided to a safe area. In the retreat traveling control using the magnetic marker, the vehicle control system acquires the guidance information from the magnetic marker detected by the magnetic sensor and causes the vehicle to travel toward the safe area and stop at the safe area based on the guidance information thus acquired.

Vehicle control system, vehicle control method, and storage medium

An autonomous driving system includes one or more storage devices configured to store specific position information indicating specific positions at which there is a possibility that remote assistance is required; and one or more processors configured to: determine presence or absence of an abnormality in a remote assistance system configured to provide the remote assistance to an autonomous driving vehicle; set, when an abnormality is detected in the remote assistance system, any one of the specific positions on a target route from a current position of the autonomous driving vehicle to a destination as a limit position based on the specific position information; set a target retracting position such that the target retracting position is included in the target route from the current position to the limit position; and control the autonomous driving vehicle such that the autonomous driving vehicle stops at the target retracting position.

Autonomous driving system, autonomous driving control method, and nontransitory storage medium

A system includes: one or more storage devices that store specific position information indicating a specific position where an autonomous vehicle has a possibility to require remote support; and one or more processors configured to set a first target route as a target route, determine whether an abnormality has occurred in a remote support system, when the abnormality is detected in the remote support system, search for an alternative route that is a route to the destination based on the specific position information, the alternative route having a smaller number of the specific positions to be passed through by the autonomous vehicle than the first target route, when the alternative route is found, change the target route from the first target route to the alternative route, and control the autonomous vehicle.
