a processor configured to:
for a vehicle in which an abnormality has occurred and continuing traveling by autonomous driving is impossible, determine whether or not the vehicle in which the abnormality has occurred is able to be restored on a spot and whether or not the vehicle in which the abnormality has occurred is able to travel by manual driving;
execute predetermined processing in accordance with a determination result of whether or not the vehicle in which the abnormality has occurred is able to be restored on a spot and is able to travel by manual driving;
determine whether or not a cope method of the abnormality is a previously assumed abnormality and the cope method in association with the previously assumed abnormality was successful and whether or not the vehicle in which the abnormality has occurred is able to be restored within a predetermined time;
determine that the vehicle in which the abnormality has occurred is able to be restored on the spot in a case where the cope method of the abnormality is the previously assumed abnormality and the cope method in association with the previously assumed abnormality was successful and the vehicle in which the abnormality has occurred is able to be restored within the predetermined time; and
the vehicle in which the abnormality has occurred further includes:
an autonomous driving kit, and
a vehicle control interface configured to mediate exchange of signals between the processor and the autonomous driving kit;
the autonomous driving kit is configured to transmit a command for autonomous driving to the processor via the vehicle control interface;
the processor is further configured to control the vehicle in which the abnormality has occurred in accordance with the command from the autonomous driving kit; and
