1. A data generation method performed by a data generation device that operates in conjunction with a mobile object, the data generation method comprising:
generating first surrounding information and second surrounding information, the first surrounding information being information which indicates a surrounding condition of the mobile object and is generated using two-dimensional information, the second surrounding information being information which indicates the surrounding condition of the mobile object and is generated using three-dimensional data;
determining which one of first surrounding information and second surrounding information is to be used, based on a driving condition of the mobile object; and
using the one of the first surrounding information and the second surrounding information, wherein
the driving condition is whether the mobile object is under autonomous travel or under manual driving, and
the three-dimensional data is data obtained by extracting, from three dimensional point cloud data, a point cloud having a feature amount greater than or equal to a threshold for each predetermined data unit, the feature amount being based on at least one of luminance information and color information.
