An inter-vehicle distance sharing device includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor coupled to the memory, the processor being configured to register, in advance, vehicles that share position information and a common registration point of each of the vehicles, and display, at a display unit installed at the vehicle of a specific member, a distance from each of the vehicles registered in advance to the common registration point.

Inter-vehicle distance sharing device, inter-vehicle distance sharing method, and non-transitory storage medium

A vehicle notification device acquires a congestion situation of rest facilities existing on a guidance route on an expressway, acquires position information of a first rest facility that is the closest rest facility to a current location of an own vehicle and position information of a second rest facility that is the next closest rest facility to the current location following the first rest facility, among rest facilities for which determination is made that a rest is possible from the congestion situation, predicts time required to move from the first rest facility to the second rest facility, and when the time is more than a preset threshold value, performs notification prompting a rest at the first rest facility.

Vehicle notification device, vehicle notification method, and storage medium

A processing server detects an incident of a vehicle by analyzing one of position information about the vehicle, image information about the periphery of the vehicle, and traveling data about the vehicle, which are acquired from the vehicle, and selects a new function corresponding to the detected incident. Then, the processing server gives notice of the proposal for the new function to the vehicle, as an estimated timing when a user having encountered the incident has cooled down while the user's memory about the incident is clear.
