A computer includes a search unit configured to search for a route from a first point to a second point, and an autonomous driving unit configured to execute autonomous driving of a vehicle along the route found by the search unit. The search unit is configured to execute a first route search for searching for a route that satisfies a first requirement in a case where a predetermined condition is not established. The search unit is configured to execute a second route search for searching for a route that satisfies a second requirement in a case where the predetermined condition is established. The first requirement does not include presence of an automatic car wash machine on the route. The second requirement includes the presence of the automatic car wash machine on the route.

Computer, vehicle, and server

A vehicle management system includes a signal transmission device and a management device configured to manage a vehicle. The signal transmission device is configured to transmit an abnormality signal for notifying of an abnormality of the vehicle to the management device in a case where a predetermined operation is executed for the signal transmission device in the vehicle during autonomous driving without presence of a manager. The signal transmission device may be mounted on a vehicle or a mobile terminal.

Vehicle management system and vehicle management method

A server apparatus includes a communication interface and a controller configured to communicate via the communication interface with at least one mobile object that has a changing room. The controller is configured to transmit an instruction to the mobile object to move to a specified location by a specified time.

An information processing apparatus configured to manage a vehicle with a relaxation facility, the information processing apparatus includes a controller configured to acquire stress information regarding a worker working at a workplace, and command the vehicle to move to the workplace based on the acquired stress information.

Information processing apparatus, non-transitory computer readable medium, and information processing method

A vehicle inspection method includes first and second transmission steps, and first and second determination steps. In the first transmission step, a vehicle transmits a first state detected by a first sensor mounted on the vehicle to a server, during autonomous driving. In the first determination step, the server determines a pass or a fail of the vehicle for the first inspection item by using the first state received from the vehicle. In the second determination step, the vehicle determines a pass or a fail for the second inspection item by using a second state detected by a second sensor mounted on the vehicle, during autonomous driving. In the second transmission step, the vehicle transmits a determination result of the second inspection item to the server in a case where a fail is determined for the second inspection item.

Vehicle management system and vehicle inspection method

A vehicle includes a storage device configured to store an estimation algorithm configured to output a degree of deterioration of a component mounted on the vehicle in response to an input of a value of a parameter related to the component, a sensor configured to detect the value of the parameter, and a control device. The control device is configured to execute a performance test by autonomous driving of the vehicle, acquire data indicating performance of the component during the performance test, and update the estimation algorithm by using the data acquired during the performance test.

Vehicle and method for diagnosing deterioration of on-vehicle component

A computer includes a diagnosis unit configured to, for a vehicle in which an abnormality has occurred and continuing traveling by autonomous driving is impossible, determine whether or not the vehicle is able to be restored on a spot and whether or not the vehicle is able to travel by manual driving. Such a computer may be mounted on a vehicle, a server, and a mobile terminal.

Computer, vehicle, server, mobile terminal, and vehicle management method

An information processing system includes a vehicle and an information processing apparatus. The vehicle includes a first component including a measuring unit configured to measure a first number of operations of the first component, a second component of which a second number of operations is measured by the measuring unit, and a controller configured to send the first and second numbers of operations to the information processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus includes a storage unit and a control unit. The storage unit stores a first cumulative number of operations of the first component and a second cumulative number of operations of the second component. The control unit is configured to determine whether the first and second components have been replaced based on the first and second numbers of operations, and update the first and second cumulative numbers of operations in a procedure that varies according to a determination result.

Information processing system, storage medium, and information processing method

An information processing apparatus capable of communicating with a vehicle includes a control unit and a communication unit. The control unit is configured to acquire, from the vehicle via the communication unit, vehicle information including at least one of open-close information of a door of the vehicle and location information of the vehicle, and determine a personality of a driver of the vehicle based on the vehicle information.

Information processing apparatus, program, and information processing method

An information processing apparatus includes a control section. The control section predicts an amount of electricity demanded for charging of vehicles that a plurality of users use, respectively, and determines a time slot in which the amount of electricity demanded exceeds a threshold value, and when the control section determines that one user of the plurality of users will refrain from use of the relevant vehicle on the following day, makes charging of the one user's vehicle wait in the time slot and provides an incentive to the one user.

Information processing apparatus, information processing system, program and vehicle

A server device includes a communication unit and a control unit that send and receives information to and from another device via the communication unit. The control unit receives, from a plurality of terminal devices, information indicating a boarding point at which a user of each of the terminal devices desires to board a vehicle, sends, to the vehicle, information for causing the vehicle to travel along a route via a nearby region of each of a plurality of the boarding points while satisfying a predetermined condition, and notifies the terminal devices of the route.

Server device, operation management system, program, vehicle, and operation management method

A control apparatus includes a controller configured to acquire route information indicating a route on which a user is to travel, and travel information indicating a travel status of the user, detect, based on the acquired route information and the acquired travel information, a waiting point on the route, at which a waiting time period for the user is to occur, and output deceleration information for prompting the user to decelerate to delay, within a range of the waiting time period, arrival of the user at the detected waiting point.

Control apparatus, non-transitory computer readable medium, and control method

A server device includes a communication unit and a control unit that sends and receives information to and from another device via the communication unit. The control unit sends, to a terminal device, information on a comfort level in a vehicle cabin of a shared vehicle that is determined based on a detection result of detecting an effect of a passenger on a vehicle body or equipment of the shared vehicle to present the information to another passenger before boarding the shared vehicle.
