Abstract: A server apparatus includes circuitry configured to acquire utterance information on a traveling location point, the utterance information being provided by occupants of a plurality of vehicles and derive a reason for danger near the traveling location point based on the acquired utterance information.

Abstract: A parking lot guidance device includes a processor. The processor is configured to cause a communication unit to transmit exit information to a vehicle with the highest priority among other vehicles that are transmission targets. The exit information includes information of a size of a parking section in which a host vehicle is parked, information of a position of the parking section in which the host vehicle is parked, and information of a start of exit of the host vehicle.

Abstract: A driving support device includes a memory and a processor including hardware. When a vehicle is placed inside a rest facility and at least one of parameters indicative of respective states of traffic jams on roads ahead of and behind the rest facility satisfy a predetermined reference, the processor transmits, to a device related to the vehicle, information that proposes a departure from the rest facility.
