Abstract: A steering control device configured to control a steering device, the steering device including a steering shaft to which a handle is detachably coupled and a motor configured to generate torque that is given to the steering shaft. The steering control device includes a processing circuit configured to execute a process for controlling driving of the motor. The process for controlling the driving of the motor includes a lock process of driving the motor such that a rotation position of the steering shaft is fixed at a specific position, in a state where the handle has been detached from the steering shaft.

Abstract: A server includes a communication interface and a controller. The controller receives a reservation request for a vehicle from a first user via the communication interface, determines an importance level of the reservation request, and generates first reservation information for a vehicle to be used by the first user, the first reservation information including the importance level. In a case in which there is no vehicle to assign to the first reservation information, the controller compares the importance level of the reservation request with importance levels of other reservation information that already exists, and assigns, to the first reservation information, a vehicle that has been assigned to second reservation information which is from among the other reservation information and includes an importance level lower than the importance level of the reservation request.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a controller configured to acquire occupant information regarding an occupant in a vehicle trying to park in a parking lot, and identify a parking position appropriate for the vehicle in the parking lot based on the occupant information.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a communication interface, a sensor configured to detect biological information for a user of the vehicle, and a controller configured to perform electronic payments. The controller receives authentication information from a first terminal apparatus using the communication interface and acquires the biological information from the sensor when a first authentication using the received authentication information succeeds. The controller acquires authorization information indicating authorization to perform an electronic payment for the user, who is associated with the authentication information, when a second authentication using the acquired biological information succeeds.

Abstract: An energy supply system includes at least one energy supply vehicle and an information processing apparatus. The at least one energy supply vehicle is configured to be able to supply energy to at least one target vehicle that is subject to energy supply. The information processing apparatus is configured to manage operation of the at least one energy supply vehicle. The information processing apparatus is configured to create an operation schedule including a supply schedule for supplying energy to the at least one target vehicle, based on a travel plan for the at least one target vehicle and information on a remaining energy amount that are received from the at least one target vehicle, and transmit the created operation schedule to the at least one energy supply vehicle.

Abstract: A server according to the present disclosure includes a communication interface and a controller. The controller receives, from a vehicle via the communication interface, boarding information indicating a user who is on board the vehicle and positional information for the vehicle, and determines, using association information associating users who can board the vehicle with allowable ranges of travel, whether the vehicle is located within an allowable range of travel associated with the user who is on board the vehicle.

Abstract: A speech recognition device and a speech recognition method are disclosed. The speech recognition device includes: a communication unit configured to transmit data on a speech to a server device, and receive a first speech recognition result and a degree of reliability of the first speech recognition result from the server device; a speech recognition unit configured to acoustically recognize the speech and output a second speech recognition result and a degree of reliability of the second speech recognition result; and a selection unit configured to correct at least, one of the degree of reliability of the first speech recognition result and the degree of reliability of the second speech recognition result with a correction value corresponding to a detected vehicle speed of the vehicle, and to select one of the first speech recognition result and the second speech recognition result which is higher in degree of reliability.

Abstract: An in-vehicle information terminal includes a recognition processing circuitry configured to recognize an input voice and a search processing circuitry configured to perform a search for information based on a content of a voice recognized by the recognition processing circuitry. The search processing circuitry is configured to, when a speed of a vehicle is higher than or equal to a predetermined threshold, automatically start a search for information after voice input, and is configured to, when the speed of the vehicle is lower than the predetermined threshold, start a search for the information on the condition that an operation to start a search has been conducted through an input operation circuitry after voice input.
