Abstract: An autonomous driving vehicle provides a driverless transportation service for a user. An alarming phenomenon is a natural phenomenon that potentially causes a disaster. The autonomous driving vehicle recognizes, based on driving environment information, the alarming phenomenon at a current location of the autonomous driving vehicle or on a planned travel route from the current location to a destination. When recognizing the alarming phenomenon, the autonomous driving vehicle determines whether to continue or halt vehicle travel control in accordance with a current travel plan. When determining to halt the vehicle travel control in accordance with the current travel plan, the autonomous driving vehicle sets an emergency plan depending on a type of the alarming phenomenon and controls the autonomous driving vehicle in accordance with the emergency plan.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus comprises a controller, the controller being configured to execute: acquiring first data about behavior of an occupant of a first vehicle during a first period from when the first vehicle leaves a point of departure until the first vehicle reaches a first point; and providing driver assistance during a second period from when the first vehicle leaves the first point until the first vehicle reaches a destination.

Abstract: An information processing device comprises a controller configured to execute: detecting that a confirmation operation that is an operation of visually confirming a side portion of a first vehicle is performed by a driver of the first vehicle; and performing control that sets transmittance of a window lying in a corresponding direction at a predetermined value if the confirmation operation is detected.

Abstract: An emotion prediction device mounted on a vehicle includes a control unit. The control unit is capable of executing functions of a first prediction unit configured to predict an emotion of a user based on a facial expression of the user, a second prediction unit configured to predict an emotion of the user based on the motion of the user, and a third prediction unit configured to predict the emotion of the user based on the emotion predicted by the first prediction unit and the emotion predicted by the second prediction unit. The control unit is capable of restricting execution of at least a part of the functions of the first, second, and third prediction units, based on at least a processing load of the control unit.

Abstract: A non-contact power supply system supplies electric power in a non-contact manner from a plurality of power transmission coils disposed on a road to a power receiving coil mounted on a vehicle traveling on the road. The non-contact power supply system includes a first estimation unit configured to estimate a future position of the vehicle, based on a speed of the vehicle, and a specifying unit configured to specify a power transmission coil that has to be in an activated state that is a state of being able to supply electric power to the power receiving coil, among the power transmission coils, based on the estimated future position.

Abstract: A driverless transportation system includes an autonomous driving vehicle and a management server. A check code includes: a vehicle code unique to the autonomous driving vehicle; and a passcode whose value changes each time it is generated. In deactivation processing, the autonomous driving vehicle newly generates the passcode, stores the check code including the newly-generated passcode, as a first check code, and transmits the first check code to the management server. The management server stores the first check code as a stored check code. In order to activate the autonomous driving vehicle, the management server transmits an activation instruction and the stored check code to the autonomous driving vehicle. In response to that, the autonomous driving vehicle reads the check code from its memory device, as a second check code, and determines whether or not the second check code and the stored check code match.

Abstract: A driverless transportation system includes: an autonomous driving vehicle that a user boards; and an abnormal event check device that checks whether or not an abnormal event exists in a passenger room of the autonomous driving vehicle after the user gets off. The autonomous driving vehicle uses a passenger room monitor to acquire, as a comparison-target image, an image of the passenger room after the user gets off the autonomous driving vehicle. The abnormal event check device: acquires a reference image being an image of the passenger room before the user boards the autonomous driving vehicle; acquires the comparison-target image; compares the comparison-target image with the reference image to determine whether or not the abnormal event exists; and notifies the user terminal or a management center, when it is determined that the abnormal event exists.
