Abstract
A communication apparatus according to the present disclosure is a communication apparatus included in a first vehicle, the communication apparatus including a communication interface and a controller. The communication interface communicates with a server. The controller detects a second vehicle located in a vicinity of the first vehicle.

The controller stores the positional information for the second vehicle as unsent information for the first vehicle, when the communication interface cannot communicate with the server, and transmits the unsent information for the first vehicle to the server via the communication interface, when the communication interface becomes able to communicate with the server.
