Abstract
The autonomous driving ECU includes a first communication unit that transmits and receives autonomous driving data to and from the plurality of data ECUs, and a vehicle control unit that controls a vehicle on the basis of the autonomous driving data transmitted from the plurality of data ECUs. Each data ECU includes a data construction unit that performs a construction of the autonomous driving data transmitted to the autonomous driving ECU, and a second communication unit that transmits and receives the autonomous driving data to and from the autonomous driving ECU. If a predetermined event occurs, among the data ECUs, the data construction unit of the data ECU in which the predetermined event occurs constructs the autonomous driving data so that a total amount of the autonomous driving data transmitted from the data ECU in which the predetermined event occurs is not greater than a predetermined amount of data.
