Abstract: The likelihood of a remote driving request from a requester being unfulfilled is lowered. A server receives information regarding the remote driving request requesting a vehicle to travel by being remotely driven from a terminal of the requester, and receives information regarding a remote driving task selected by a remote driver (fulfilment agent) using a fulfilment agent operation terminal from the fulfilment agent operation terminal. A task corresponding to the received remote driving request is divided into plural remote driving tasks based on route information for the task, and information regarding at least one of the divided remote driving tasks is transmitted to the fulfilment agent operation terminal.

Abstract: An information display device includes: a display section that displays a view of a situation ahead of a vehicle and guidance information; a learning section that classifies and learns targets appearing on a travel route and visible through the display section as: a first target necessary to be visible, a second target necessary to be visible under the setting condition, or a third target not necessary to be visible, and a display control section configured to: prohibit display of the guidance information in a prohibited region with the first target, permit display of the guidance information in a permitted region with the third target, and either prohibit display of the guidance information in a conditional region with the second target and the setting condition is met, or permit display of the guidance information in the conditional region with the second target and the setting condition is not met.
