Abstract
A course prediction device () includes a blind spot calculation unit () and a prediction unit (). The blind spot calculation unit () acquires a sensing result sequentially from a sensor which is arranged in a mobile object and which detects whether an object exists, and calculates, based on sensor information, a blind spot area expressing such an area that an object existing therein cannot be detected by the sensor. The blind spot calculation unit () also detects an object entering the blind spot area based on the sensor information. The prediction unit () predicts a course in the blind spot area of the detected object based on the sensing result.
