Abstract: A controller that controls an operation of a movable object that travels in self-driving includes a detecting unit configured to, when the movable object is traveling in self-driving, detect occurrence of an abnormal state including an abnormal stop of the movable object, and a control unit. When (i) occurrence of the abnormal state is detected and (ii) a predetermined first condition is satisfied, the control unit is configured to execute control to resume the self-driving of the movable object. When (i) occurrence of the abnormal state is detected and (ii) the first condition is not satisfied, the control unit is configured not to execute control to resume the self-driving.
