1. A vehicle including a lamp body that irradiates surroundings of the vehicle, comprising:
a control unit configured to control an irradiation range of the lamp body according to a speed of the vehicle,
wherein the control unit controls the irradiation range according to the speed to be different when the speed increases and when the speed decreases,
wherein the control unit controls a change rate of the irradiation range to be different when the speed increases and when the speed decreases,
wherein the control unit controls the change rate of the irradiation range, such that i) at the time of increasing the speed of the vehicle, the irradiation range is expanded according to the increase of the speed of the vehicle and at the time of decreasing the speed of the vehicle, the irradiation range is decreased according to the decrease of the speed of the vehicle, and ii) a decreasing speed of decreasing the irradiation range is controlled to be slower than an expanding speed of expanding the irradiation range according to the increase of the speed of the vehicle at the time of increasing the speed of the vehicle.
