Abstract: A controller includes a communication unit and a processing unit. The communication unit is configured to acquire control information for a vehicle from an information processing device via wired communication or wireless communication. The processing unit is configured to execute a process of starting vehicle control based on the control information depending on a result of an authentication process for use authority over the control information. Subscription information about the use authority is composed of a block-chain managed by a plurality of electronic control units in the vehicle. The authentication process is executed based on the subscription information composed of the block-chain.

Abstract: A mobile object system dispatches a vehicle capable of moving autonomously to a destination at which a user is located. The system includes a controller comprising at least one processor configured to receive a request for use of a vehicle provided with first equipment, and send to the vehicle a first command to travel to a first destination designating a place where at least a part of the first equipment is present as a first stopover place. The vehicle in the mobile object system travels, in accordance with the first command to travel, from the first stopover place to the first destination after loading of at least a part of the first equipment onto the vehicle at the first stopover place is completed to complete the first equipment.

Abstract: A rescue system includes: a plurality of movable bodies each equipped with a camera; and a server configured to communicate with the plurality of movable bodies. The rescue system identifies a protection target, based on information acquired by the camera. The server is configured to (a) define a search area to be searched for the protection target, (b) acquire positional information about the plurality of movable bodies and select, from movable bodies located within the search area, at least one movable body to be used for searching for the protection target, the movable body being selected as a selected movable body, and (c) output, to the selected movable body, a search command for searching for the protection target.

Abstract: An animal rescue system identifies and rescues a protection target which is an animal, using information from a camera. The animal rescue system includes: a plurality of movable bodies each equipped with a camera; and a server configured to communicate with the plurality of movable bodies. The server is configured to identify a protection target, using information from the camera mounted on each of the plurality of movable bodies. The server is configured, when the protection target is identified, to (a) acquire positional information about each of the plurality of movable bodies and positional information about the protection target, and (b) select, as the protection target moves, a movable body which is to monitor the protection target, from the plurality of movable bodies.

Abstract: A VCIB performs processing including obtaining various requests from systems (S100), determining whether or not there is a request on the occurrence of an abnormal condition (S102), and transmitting the obtained request to an ADS and carrying out representation control (S104) when it is determined that there is a request on the occurrence of the abnormal condition (YES in S102). The ADS performs processing including carrying out, when the ADS obtains during autonomous driving the request on the occurrence of the abnormal condition, autonomous driving in accordance with the request.

Abstract: An ADK determines whether or not a subject device has stopped operation due to control interference caused by a user operation and an ADK operation that were simultaneously performed. When the ADK determines that the subject device has stopped operation due to control interference caused by the user operation and the ADK operation that were simultaneously performed, the ADK transmits to a VP (VCIB), a control request (an operation command) indicating “no request (No request)” corresponding to the subject device that has stopped operation.
