1. A processing device comprising:
a memory that stores instructions, and
one or more processors that execute the instructions to:
acquire map data that has road information,
acquire detection results detected by one or more detectors that detects surroundings of a first mobile object,
control a speed and steering of the first mobile object to perform automated driving,
cross-check a position of a second mobile object included in the detection results with the road information of the map data to determine whether or not the position of the second mobile object is included in a region indicating a road of the road information,
determine the map data has high reliability in a case in which it is determined that the position of the second mobile object is included in the region indicating the road of the road information,
determine the map data has low reliability in a case in which it is determined that the position of the second mobile object is not included in the region indicating the road of the road information,
execute first mode automated driving in a case in which the map data has high reliability, and
stop the first mode automated driving or execute second mode automated driving in a case in which the map data has low reliability, and
the second mode automated driving being automated driving in a mode in which a rate of automation of the automated driving is lower than a rate of automation of the first mode automated driving or a degree of surroundings monitoring required to a driver of the first mobile object is higher than a degree of surroundings monitoring as compared with a case in which the first mode automated driving is performed.
