Abstract
An enhanced map information processing unitof a driving assistance deviceacquires from a determination unitinformation on surroundings of a vehicle which is needed to perform autonomous driving, and acquires from a server deviceenvironment information on surroundings of a route on which autonomous driving is performed. On the basis of the acquired environment information, the enhanced map information processing unitextracts, as an autonomous driving unsuitable location Pn, a location at which the accuracy of the acquirement of the sensor unitis predicted not to satisfy a standard for acquiring the information on the surroundings of the vehicle needed to perform autonomous driving. An informing unitalerts the extracted autonomous driving unsuitable location Pn to a user.
