Abstract: A processor of a vehicle determines whether remote assistance from a remote facility is necessary during autonomous driving control. When determination is made that the remote assistance is necessary, the processor generates a target trajectory of the vehicle that includes an expected waiting position. The expected waiting position is a position where the vehicle is expected to wait for reception of an assistance signal from the remote facility.

When the traveling efficiency level is low in calculation of the request timing, the processor outputs a late timing.
