Abstract
An automated driving apparatus on a vehicle includes an acquirer and an automated driving control circuit. The acquirer detects a first marker that is detected when the vehicle passes through a first specified position on a road, and acquires the first specified position. The automated driving control circuit performs automated driving of the vehicle by controlling a traction actuator used to drive the vehicle based on a detection result from an onboard sensor on the vehicle. The automated driving control circuit determines whether to perform the automated driving, based on the detection result from the onboard sensor and information relating to the first specified position acquired by the acquirer under a condition that the first marker is detected by the acquirer.
