Abstract: A vehicle inspection method includes first and second transmission steps, and first and second determination steps. In the first transmission step, a vehicle transmits a first state detected by a first sensor mounted on the vehicle to a server, during autonomous driving. In the first determination step, the server determines a pass or a fail of the vehicle for the first inspection item by using the first state received from the vehicle. In the second determination step, the vehicle determines a pass or a fail for the second inspection item by using a second state detected by a second sensor mounted on the vehicle, during autonomous driving. In the second transmission step, the vehicle transmits a determination result of the second inspection item to the server in a case where a fail is determined for the second inspection item.

Abstract: A vehicle management device includes a first driving unit, a second driving unit, an inspection unit, and a maintenance unit. The first driving unit transmits a first signal for autonomously driving a first vehicle included in a vehicle group under a first condition. The second driving unit transmits a second signal for autonomously driving a second vehicle that is a vehicle other than the first vehicle included in the vehicle group under a second condition that the vehicle is less likely to be deteriorated than under the first condition. The inspection unit makes an instruction for a performance inspection of the first vehicle after autonomous driving of the first vehicle under the first condition ends. The maintenance unit decides a maintenance time of the second vehicle by using a result of the performance inspection of the first vehicle.

Abstract: An information processing device of the present disclosure includes a control unit configured to control a plurality of output devices provided in an operation area of an on-demand bus. The control unit identifies a first output device close to a boarding place of the on-demand bus among the output devices. The control unit transmits a first command to output an indication of a bus stop of the on-demand bus to the first output device at a first timing that is earlier by a first time length than a boarding date of a user.

Abstract: A computer includes a search unit configured to search for a route from a first point to a second point, and an autonomous driving unit configured to execute autonomous driving of a vehicle along the route found by the search unit. The search unit is configured to execute a first route search for searching for a route that satisfies a first requirement in a case where a predetermined condition is not established. The search unit is configured to execute a second route search for searching for a route that satisfies a second requirement in a case where the predetermined condition is established. The first requirement does not include presence of an automatic car wash machine on the route. The second requirement includes the presence of the automatic car wash machine on the route.
