Abstract
A vehicle occupant protection system includes an imaging device, an occupant monitoring apparatus, and an occupant protection apparatus. The imaging device is configured to capture an image of an occupant riding in a vehicle. The occupant monitoring apparatus is configured to monitor the occupant on the basis of the captured image outputted from the imaging device, and configured to, in a case where a riding state of the occupant in the vehicle is undeterminable on the basis of the captured image outputted from the imaging device, switch an imaging range of the captured image to be outputted from the imaging device. The occupant protection apparatus is configured to execute, on the basis of the monitoring by the occupant monitoring apparatus, protection control that is based on the occupant riding in the vehicle.
