1. A vehicle which is movable, the vehicle comprising a processor configured to function as:
an access point function unit which has an antenna and functions as an access point by wirelessly communicating with a terminal device located near the antenna; and
a control unit which controls a directivity direction of radio waves transmitted through the antenna so that a radio wave intensity of radio waves transmitted to a first region set on the basis of a surrounding environment of the antenna is less than a radio wave intensity of radio waves transmitted to a second region other than the first region,
the vehicle further comprising an in-vehicle camera,
wherein the processor is configured to further function as:
a first acquisition unit which acquires surrounding information about the surrounding environment of the antenna on a basis of an image information output by the in-vehicle camera; and
a first setting unit which sets the first region on the basis of the surrounding information acquired by the first acquisition unit.
