The control device has a first mode and a second mode, and is configured to be switchable between the first mode and the second mode according to an operation of the user. In the first mode, the control device receives selection of the movement pattern after receiving specification of the target position. In the second mode, the control device receives the specification of the target position after receiving the selection of the movement pattern.

A control device includes circuitry configured to: generate, based on respective pieces of imaging data obtained by a plurality of imaging devices of a moving body, a three-dimensional image indicating a space including both the moving body and surroundings of the moving bod; and cause a display device to display generated the three-dimensional image. The circuitry is capable of rotation of the space in the three-dimensional image. When it is predicted that a boundary region of the respective pieces of imaging data in the three-dimensional image is present in a specific region at time of stop of the rotation, the circuitry changes the boundary region.

A vehicle movement assist system includes: an external environment sensor unmovably fixed to a vehicle; and a control device configured to acquire the position of an obstacle relative to the vehicle based on a result of detection performed by the external environment sensor and to execute an automatic moving process to autonomously move the vehicle. During execution of the automatic moving process, if the obstacle is detected in a recognition range set by the control device, the control device performs a notification to the driver and/or executes a process including deceleration or stopping of the vehicle.
