Abstract

A first light emitting element emits first detecting light toward the outside of a vehicle. A second light emitting element emits second detecting light toward the outside of the vehicle. A first light receiving element outputs a first signal corresponding to an amount of incident light. A second light receiving element outputs a second signal corresponding to an amount of incident light. A processor acquires first data corresponding to the first signal and second data corresponding to the second signal, and exchanges the first data and the second data in a case where the first data is based on the second detecting light and the second data is based on the first detecting light.
