Abstract
A processor of a vehicle determines whether remote assistance from a remote facility is necessary during autonomous driving control. When determination is made that the remote assistance is necessary, the processor generates a target trajectory of the vehicle that includes an expected waiting position. The expected waiting position is a position where the vehicle is expected to wait for reception of an assistance signal from the remote facility. The processor calculates a traveling efficiency level indicating a level of traveling efficiency required in the vehicle, and calculates, based on the traveling efficiency level, a request timing to transmit a request signal for the remote assistance to the remote facility. When the traveling efficiency level is low in calculation of the request timing, the processor outputs a late timing.
