Abstract: Whether or not the state of update failure on the vehicle side matches the SW versions in any of existing vehicle versions on the OTA server side is searched, and when there is a match, rollback is not executed and the matched vehicle version is maintained. Accordingly, in the next OTA update, the size of difference data corresponding to the difference between the SW versions of old programs and the SW versions of new programs can be reduced when compared with that when rollback is executed. Therefore, the time required for the OTA update process can be reduced.
