1. An in-vehicle device, comprising:
at least one processor;
a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium; and
a set of computer-executable instructions stored on the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that cause the at least one processor to:
plan, as a travel plan, positioning of a vehicle during traveling according to a driving policy;
evaluate the travel plan based on driving rule determination information in conformity with a traffic rule;
determine whether to permit the travel plan based on an evaluation result; and
perform autonomous driving according to the travel plan based on the travel plan being permitted, wherein
the positioning of the vehicle is planned according to the driving policy that is set to reduce a frequency of occurrence of a blind area entry situation under which a different vehicle other than the vehicle causes a moving object other than the different vehicle to be positioned within a blind area of a detection range for a periphery monitoring sensor that is configured to monitor surroundings of the vehicle.
