Abstract
The present disclosure provides to an apparatus for managing travel of a vehicle having an autonomous travel function. The apparatus executes the following steps. The apparatus sequentially acquires sensor information from a recognition sensor mounted on the vehicle. The apparatus sequentially generates prediction information showing a position of an object at a future time point based on the sensor information acquired sequentially. The apparatus transmits a remote support request to a remote support operator. The apparatus receives a remote support given in response to the remote support request by the remote support operator. The apparatus makes the vehicle autonomously travel in accordance with the remote support in response to confirming that an actual position of an object obtained from sensor information and a predicted position of an object obtained from prediction information correspond.
