Abstract

An automatic drive device includes a fusion unit recognizing travel environment of a vehicle based on an output signal of a surrounding monitoring sensor and a control planning unit generating a control plan based on a recognition result of the fusion unit. A diagnostic device includes an abnormality detection unit that detects an abnormality of a field recognition system from the surrounding monitoring sensor to the fusion unit by monitoring the output signal of the surrounding monitoring sensor and the recognition result of the fusion unit over time. The diagnostic device requests the control planning unit to perform MRM based on a detection of the abnormality of the recognition system by the abnormality detection unit.
