Abstract: In a technique for controlling a first vehicle, display information and position specifying information are received from a second vehicle different from the first vehicle via inter-vehicle communications. The display information is information for display and independently set for the second vehicle in the second vehicle. The position specifying information is information for specifying a position of the second vehicle. The position of the second vehicle relative to the first vehicle is specified based on the position specifying information. Display on a display device is controlled to superimpose information indicated by the display information on the position of the second vehicle in a landscape in front of the first vehicle based on the position of the second vehicle and the display information.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus to and from which a replenishment container accommodating toner is attachable and detachable includes a replenishment port to allow replenishment of toner from the replenishment container, an opening/closing portion to open the replenishment port in an open position and close the replenishment port in a closed position, a locking member to move between a restricting position in which the locking member restricts movement of the opening/closing portion from the closed position to the open position, and an allowing position in which the movement of the opening/closing portion from the closed position to the open position is allowed. A developer container accepts more toner for replenishment in a case where a second display is in a second state than in a first state, and a first display more accurately displays information related to the toner accommodated in the developer container than the second display.
