Abstract: A drive mode switch controller receives a switch request for switching from a manual drive mode to an automatic drive mode when switching the drive mode of a vehicle between the manual drive mode and the automatic drive mode. In response to the received switch request, the drive mode switch controller outputs a first switch signal for switching from the manual drive mode to the automatic drive mode, and a steering wheel operation command for disconnecting a steering wheel from wheels of the vehicle to allow the steering wheel to operate independently of the orientation of the wheels.

Abstract: A drive mode switch controller outputs a signal for switching from an automatic drive mode to a manual drive mode. An obtaining unit obtains sensing data indicating light intensity measured by a light intensity sensor, and stores the sensing data into a storage. A determination unit determines, based on the sensing data, whether a surrounding environment in the direction in which a vehicle travels satisfies a predetermined condition appropriate for switching the drive mode in a period predetermined for the switching. A signal output unit outputs a signal for performing the switching when the surrounding environment in the direction in which the vehicle travels is determined to satisfy the predetermined condition.

Abstract: In a passenger assisting apparatus, a passenger information obtaining unit obtains a destination and a contact of a passenger, a state determination unit determines, at the destination for example, whether the passenger is able to exit the vehicle based on a sensing result from a passenger state detection sensor for detecting a state of the passenger. An awakening assistance unit performs an awakening operation for the passenger when the state determination unit determines that the passenger is unable to exit the vehicle, and a contact notification unit provides a notification to the contact obtained by the passenger information obtaining unit when the state determination unit determines that the passenger is unable to exit the vehicle after the awakening operation.

Abstract: An obtaining unit obtains sensing data indicating a state of a driver from a monitoring sensor for monitoring the state of the driver. A determination unit determines a degree of concentration of the driver on driving based on the sensing data. A notification controller controls, when the determination unit determines that the degree of concentration satisfies a first criterion, a notification unit to notify, before the drive mode is switched, the driver that the drive mode will be switched to the automatic drive mode, and controls, when the determination unit determines that the degree of concentration does not satisfy the first criterion, the notification unit not to notify, before the drive mode is switched, the driver that the drive mode will be switched.
