Abstract: Disclosed is a vehicular environment estimation device capable of accurately estimating a travel environment around own vehicle on the basis of a predicted route of a mobile object or the like, which is moving in a blind area. A vehicular environment estimation device that is mounted in the own vehicle detects a behavior of another vehicle in the vicinity of the own vehicle, and estimates a travel environment, which affects the traveling of another vehicle, on the basis of the behavior of another vehicle. For example, the presence of another vehicle, which is traveling in a blind area, is estimated on the basis of the behavior of another vehicle. Therefore, it is possible to estimate a vehicle travel environment that cannot be recognized by the own vehicle but can be recognized by another vehicle in the vicinity of the own vehicle.

Abstract: A system includes an acquisition unit that acquires an operation amount or a duration count, and a switching unit that switches a driving state. The switching unit switches the driving state to the cooperative driving state when the operation amount is equal to or greater than an intervention threshold and less than a start threshold or the duration count is equal to or greater than a first threshold and less than a second threshold during the autonomous driving state, switches the driving state to the autonomous driving state when the operation amount is less than the intervention threshold or the duration count is less than the first threshold during the cooperative driving state, and switches the driving state to the manual driving state when the operation amount is equal to or greater than the start threshold or the duration count is equal to or greater than the second threshold.

Abstract: A vehicle remote instruction system includes a remote instruction point situation recognition unit that recognizes a remote instruction point situation on a target route based on the target route, position information, and map information, a recommended time acquisition unit that acquires a recommended time based on the remote instruction point situation and a type of a remote instruction, a remote instruction sending unit that sends the remote instruction to an autonomous driving vehicle, and a predicted time calculation unit that calculates a predicted time. The remote instruction sending unit sends a delay instruction to set a reflection time closer to the recommended time when the predicted time is earlier than the recommended time, and sends a preparation instruction to cause the autonomous driving vehicle to behave in response to the type of the remote instruction at an earlier time when the predicted time is later than the recommended time.
