Abstract
An agent apparatus includes an agent, an impact detection processor, an occupant information acquisition unit, a vehicle information acquisition unit, a surrounding-environment information acquisition unit, and an agent control unit. The agent is disposed visually recognizable from an outside of a vehicle. The impact detection processor detects an impact on the vehicle. The occupant information acquisition unit acquires, if the impact is detected, occupant information regarding a state of an occupant of the vehicle. The vehicle information acquisition unit acquires, if the impact is detected, vehicle information regarding a state of the vehicle. The surrounding-environment information acquisition unit acquires surrounding-environment information regarding a surrounding environment of the vehicle. The agent control unit is configured to cause the agent to operate on the basis of any of the occupant information, the vehicle information, and the surrounding-environment information and thereby send information toward a surrounding region of the vehicle.
