    Abstract: A driver driving a vehicle is easily determined. A first determiner compares first statistical information, which is statistical information about a retention direction in which a driver looking straight ahead retains his or her face or gaze with respect to a forward direction of a vehicle calculated by a first calculator, from first sensing data output from a first sensor and including an image of a driver of a vehicle and stored in a storage, with second statistical information, which is statistical information about the retention direction for the current vehicle driver calculated similarly by the first calculator, and determines, when finding first statistical information approximate to the second statistical information, the current vehicle driver as a driver associated with the approximate first statistical information.
