Abstract

A driving operation handover system includes a memory and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to: acquire a first characteristic value of preset setting characteristics during travel of a vehicle equipped with a manual operation unit that an occupant operates; acquire a second characteristic value of the preset setting characteristics during travel of a virtual vehicle that simulates the vehicle, which a remote operator operates using a remote operation unit; calculate a difference value between the first characteristic value and the second characteristic value; in a case in which the difference value is lower than a setting threshold value, notify the occupant and the remote operator that operation of the vehicle can be handed over; and after notification, switch operation of the vehicle from one of the remote operator or the occupant to another of the remote operator or the occupant.
