Publication number: 20240169835Abstract: An information processing apparatus is provided on a first vehicle that is a connected vehicle capable of performing V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) communication. The information processing apparatus has a controller. The controller receives first information including location information of a first object. The controller calculates a first distance based on the location information included in the first information. The first distance is the relative distance between the first object and the first vehicle along a first direction that is perpendicular to the direction of travel of the first vehicle. The controller determines whether or not it is necessary to output second information to caution about the first object based on the first distance.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2023Publication date: May 23, 2024Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Minako SUGIYAMA
