Abstract

A configuration that generates driving zone display data that allows identification of at least an automated driving allowed zone and a manual driving zone on a driving route of a vehicle and that presents the driving zone display data to a user (driver) is provided. A data processing section that generates driving zone display data that allows identification of at least an automated driving allowed zone and a manual driving zone on a driving route of a vehicle is included. The data processing section generates time linear display data representing time (t) and a display position (h) in a proportional relation for a proximate zone and a remote zone. The data processing section generates display data in which a distance per unit display length of the remote zone is made longer than a distance per unit display length of the proximate zone. Regarding an intermediate-distance zone between the proximate zone and the remote zone, the data processing section generates display data having a time axis that changes gradually at a predetermined rate from the first time axis corresponding to the proximate zone to a second time axis corresponding to the remote zone.
