Abstract

A light emitting element emits detecting light toward an outside area of a vehicle. A light receiving element outputs a light receiving signal corresponding to reflected light. A processor detects information of the outside area on the basis of the light receiving signal. A translucent cover forms a part of an outer surface of the vehicle, and has a plurality of flat portions allowing passage of the detecting light. The processor excludes, from the information to be detected, a position corresponding a boundary portion between adjacent ones of the flat portions.
