Abstract
A software management system for a vehicle, including a vehicle and a management server, includes: an update necessity determination portion configured to determine whether or not an update is required in terms of software installed in the vehicle and related to a driving support function; and a restriction portion configured to turn on a control flag of the driving support function when it is determined that the update is required, and also configured to turn off the control flag when the update is permitted by a user and the software related to the driving support function is updated. The software management system starts to restrict an operation of the driving support function at a predetermined timing while the control flag is in an ON state, and resets the restriction at a timing when the control flag is turned off.
