Abstract
A vehicle switches between an autonomous driving state, in which the vehicle is responsible for implementing driving tasks including vehicle steering, vehicle driving, vehicle braking, and periphery monitoring, and a manual driving state or a driving assistance state, in which a driver of the vehicle is responsible for implementing at least one of the driving tasks. A processor implements the driving tasks based on a vehicle behavior plan, which indicates a vehicle behavior scheduled in the autonomous driving state, and generates a second task priority plan, which is the vehicle behavior plan until the driving mode is switched from the autonomous driving state to the manual driving state, such that a convenient finish time, at which a second task implemented by the driver in the autonomous driving state is conveniently finished, comes before the driving mode switching.
