1. A remote driving device that remotely operates a vehicle, comprising:
a remote operation device configured to be operated by an operator to remotely operate the vehicle;
a reaction force unit configured to generate an operation reaction force to be applied to the remote operation device;
a receiver configured to receive a parameter affecting vehicle characteristics of the vehicle from the vehicle; and
a processor configured to control the reaction force unit so as to generate a magnitude of the operation reaction force according to the received parameter, wherein
the parameter includes a wheelbase of the vehicle; and
the processor is further configured to control the reaction force unit so as to generate a greater operation reaction force when the wheelbase is longer compared to the operation reaction force when the wheelbase is shorter.
