Abstract
A vehicle includes a processor that includes hardware. When an own vehicle is connected to an external network via a communication mesh network created by vehicle-to-vehicle communication that takes place between multiple vehicles, the processor outputs connection information indicating that the own vehicle is connected to the external network as information that is able to be visually recognized from outside of the vehicle.
