  • Publication number: 20240144740
    Abstract: The controller of the information processing apparatus obtains a first evaluation amount that is an evaluation amount of the first vehicle in a case that the body color of the first vehicle is assumed to be the color of the first paint coating film. The controller obtains a second evaluation amount that is an evaluation amount of the first vehicle in case that the body color of the first vehicle is assumed to be the color of the second paint coating film. The controller determines whether the second paint coating film should be removed from the first vehicle based on the first evaluation amount and the second evaluation amount. The controller outputs the above determination result.
