Abstract
A cockpit is capable of executing a light show by outputting music from a speaker and operating a movable component. In addition, the cockpit can detect an obstacle existing around the vehicle. When an obstacle is detected within the detection range corresponding to the movable range of the movable component, the cockpit causes music to be output from the speaker without operating the movable component when the light show is executed.
