Abstract: An automatic travelling control system includes: a function determiner that determines a status of a function used for automatic travelling of a vehicle; a first notifier that provides a notification of the status of the function; a first abnormality detector that detects an abnormality in the notification of the status of the function; a second notifier that provides a predetermined notification when the abnormality in the notification of the status of the function is detected and it is determined that the function is normal; a second abnormality detector that detects an abnormality in the predetermined notification; a manual driving capability determiner that determines whether a user on board the vehicle can drive the vehicle manually; and a manual driving requester that requests the user to drive the vehicle manually when the second notifier provides the predetermined notification and it is determined that the user can drive the vehicle manually.

Abstract: An awakening support device promotes awakening of a driver. The awakening support device includes: a vehicle state determiner that determines whether a vehicle of the driver is traveling or stopped; and a stimulus controller that controls a stimulus generation device that generates a stimulus used for supporting the awakening of the driver based on a result of determination by the vehicle state determiner. The stimulus controller causes the stimulus generation device to generate a stimulus more intense than a stimulus generated when the vehicle is determined to be traveling, when the vehicle state determiner determines that the vehicle is stopped.

Abstract: A display controller converts a detection target region contained within a detection range of an obstruction sensor group and extending from a vehicle to the periphery thereof into a virtual marker image and causes a virtual image to be displayed by superimposing the image over a scene in front of the vehicle. When the relative position of an obstruction is within the detection target region, the display controller causes an arc-shaped ripple spreading in a direction based on the relative position of the obstruction to be displayed in a region, of the virtual marker image, located in a direction based on the relative position of the obstruction. The display controller converts the important information into a notification image and causes the notification image to be displayed in a display medium. The display controller changes the display format of at least one of the virtual marker image or the notification image.
