Abstract: An information processing device includes a communication unit and a controller. The communication unit performs data communication with another vehicle present in an area around a host vehicle. The controller controls the data communication performed by the communication unit. Based on an amount of transition in frequency due to a Doppler shift corresponding to a relative speed of the other vehicle in relation to the host vehicle, the controller extracts, from among a plurality of the other vehicles, a designated moving body with which the communication unit is to perform the data communication. The controller initiates the data communication with the designated moving body.

Abstract: An information processing device includes a communication unit and a controller. The communication unit performs data communication with another vehicle present in a periphery of a host vehicle. The controller controls the data communication performed by the communication unit. The communication unit has a normal mode, and a directivity mode in which directivity of wireless communication is controlled to a greater extent than in the normal mode so that data communication can be performed with another vehicle at a position at which data communication cannot be performed in the normal mode. The controller receives server data from a server that includes information pertaining to the other vehicle present at the position at which data communication cannot be performed in the normal mode. The controller controls the directivity of the wireless communication of the communication unit based on the information pertaining to the other vehicle from the server.
