Abstract: A vehicle with an automatic accident report function. The vehicle includes a transmitter, a collector, a determiner, and a vehicle estimator. The transmitter automatically transmits, to a server apparatus, accident emergency information that is usable by the server apparatus to estimate injury of an occupant of the vehicle when an accident of the vehicle is detected or forecasted. The collector collects, in the vehicle, information of the vehicle involved in the accident. The determiner determines whether a communication environment is appropriate for transmission of the information from the transmitter to the server apparatus. The vehicle estimator estimates the injury of the occupant, using the information collected by the collector.
