Abstract
A device for controlling a mobile object capable of moving both on a roadway and in a predetermined area different from the roadway, one or more passengers boarding the mobile object, includes a road type recognizer that recognizes whether the mobile object is moving on the roadway or moving in the predetermined area on the basis of an output of an external detection device that detects an external situation of the mobile object, and a controller that causes the mobile object to travel in any one of a first traveling state in which a speed of the mobile object is limited to a first speed and a second traveling state in which the speed of the mobile object is limited to a second speed lower than the first speed, on the basis of a road type recognized by the road type recognizer, and the controller causes the mobile object to travel in the second traveling state when the mobile object is traveling in the predetermined area, and performs switching between the first traveling state and the second traveling state in response to an instruction regarding the traveling state of the mobile object received from the passenger when the mobile object is caused to travel from the predetermined area to the roadway.
