The user-involvement mode is a driving mode in which a user sitting in a driver's seat is required to monitor a front of the vehicle. The automated driving mode being a driving mode in which the user is not required to monitor the front of the vehicle. A processor acquires information of a current driving mode, and acquires a residual amount of energy for driving.
