Abstract: An HMI control device includes an automation level acquisition portion and a display control unit. The automation level acquisition portion acquires an autonomous driving level determined by a driving control device. The display control portion controls an image display operation of an HMI device according to the autonomous driving level acquired by the automation level acquisition portion. When terminating a high autonomous driving level as the autonomous driving level, the display control portion controls the HMI device to provide an action instruction display that instructs the driver to take a low-level associated state so as to handle a low autonomous driving level. The low autonomous driving level is the autonomous driving level under which an in-vehicle system including the driving control device is prohibited from performing at least one of a lateral motion control realized by performing steering and a longitudinal motion control realized by performing acceleration/deceleration.

Abstract: A vehicle involves driving mode switching between an autonomous driving state, in which the vehicle is responsible for implementing driving tasks including vehicle steering, vehicle driving, vehicle braking, and periphery monitoring, and a manual driving state or a driving assistance state, in which a driver of the vehicle is responsible for implementing at least one of the driving tasks. A driving task implementation unit implements the driving tasks based on a vehicle behavior plan, which indicates a vehicle behavior scheduled in the autonomous driving state. A vehicle behavior plan generation unit generates a second task priority plan, which is the vehicle behavior plan until the driving mode is switched from the autonomous driving state to the manual driving state, such that a convenient finish time, at which a second task implemented by the driver in the autonomous driving state is conveniently finished, comes before the driving mode switching.

The second task extracted by the second task extracting unit is suggested through the user interface.
