  • Patent number: 11518411
    Abstract: A vehicle controller device includes a first processor. The first processor is configured to acquire biometric information of an occupant, in cases in which the compromised state is determined to have arisen, to communicate check-up information to check the well-being of the occupant using a report device provided inside the vehicle, to receive a response from the occupant whose well-being is being checked, to notify switchover information to an operation device in order to switch the vehicle from manual driving to remote driving in which the vehicle travels based on operation information in cases in which the response has not been received, and to perform the remote driving in cases in which the switchover information has been received by the operation device and operation-ready information indicating that the remote driving is possible has subsequently been received from the operation device.
