Abstract

The target setting unit 7 sets a target state of the self-driving vehicle 10. The planned route creating unit 3 creates a planned route of the self-driving vehicle 10 for realizing the target state. The transmission unit 6 transmits the planned route to another vehicle. The response receiving unit 9 receives, from another vehicle, a notification indicating agreement with the planned route or disagreement with the planned route as a response to the planned route. The traveling control unit 8 controls the self-driving vehicle 10 so as to cause the self-driving vehicle 10 to travel along the planned route when the response receiving unit 9 has received the notification indicating agreement with the planned route.
