1. A notification system comprising:
at least one memory storing one or more instructions; and
at least one processor configured to execute the one or more instructions to, for each of a plurality of drivers:
acquire driving feature information that indicates a driving feature including at least one of a driving level and a driving tendency of a driver;
estimate a state of the driver, based on at least one of a piece of vital information, an appearance image, and a piece of speech data of the driver;
determine an event to be detected associated with the acquired driving feature information and the estimated state, based on notification information in which the event and content to be notified to the driver at a time of detecting the event are determined for the driving feature and for the state of the driver, and executing processing of detecting the determined event;
determine the content to be notified to the driver at a time of detecting the event, based on the notification information; and
notify the driver of the determined content, wherein
the event to be detected while each driver is driving is different from each other depending on both the driving feature of each driver and the state of each driver, and
the content to be notified to each driver when detecting a same event is different from each other depending on both the driving feature of each driver and the state of each driver.
