Abstract
A vehicle includes a maintenance-necessity detector and an automatic driving controller. The maintenance-necessity detector is configured to determine whether maintenance of the vehicle is necessary. The automatic driving controller is configured to cause the vehicle to move to a maintenance facility at which the maintenance of the vehicle is to be performed, on the basis of automatic driving that is independent of driving to be performed by an occupant of the vehicle, in a case where the maintenance is determined by the maintenance-necessity detector as being necessary.
