Abstract: A control apparatus for an automatic-driving vehicle includes a fall detecting unit and a collision preventing unit. The fall detecting unit detects that a load of the automatic-driving vehicle has fallen onto a road. The collision preventing unit performs a collision prevention process that is a process to prevent another vehicle from colliding with the load when the fall detecting unit detects that the load has fallen onto the road.

Abstract: A data storage device is mounted on a vehicle on which an autonomous driving control device performs an autonomous driving control. The data storage device includes an abnormality detector and a controller. The abnormality detector detects an abnormal state including at least one of an abnormality in an occupant of the vehicle and an abnormality in the surrounding environment of the vehicle. When the abnormality detector detects the abnormal state, the controller causes a storage medium to store determination information allowing for determination of whether a subject driving the vehicle is the autonomous driving control device. The determination information includes at least one of a control amount of the autonomous driving control, basis information for the control amount, an operation amount of the vehicle, actual output information of the vehicle, and information directly indicating whether autonomous driving is ON.
