1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
a data processing section that generates driving zone display data that allows identification of at least an automated driving allowed zone and a manual driving zone on a driving route of a vehicle, wherein
the data processing section generates time linear display data along a first time axis representing time (t) and a display position (h) in a proportional relation for a proximate zone whose driving scheduled time period of the vehicle comes early, generates time linear display data along a second time axis representing time (t) and a display position (h) in a proportional relation for a remote zone whose driving scheduled time period of the vehicle comes late, generates display data in which a distance per unit display length of display data of the remote zone is made longer than a distance per unit display length of display data of the proximate zone, generates one piece of driving zone display data in which an intermediate-distance zone is set between the proximate zone and the remote zone, and display data of the intermediate-distance zone includes display data having a time axis that changes gradually at a predetermined rate from the first time axis corresponding to the proximate zone to the second time axis corresponding to the remote zone, receives an indication of a level of alertness of a driver, receives an indication of an overall medical condition of a driver, receives information regarding a position of the driver in a driver's seat, receives information regarding a location of the driver in the vehicle, determines a notification time of a scheduled transition from the automated driving allowed zone to the manual driving zone based on the position of the driver and the level of alertness of the driver, generates a notification to the driver at the notification time of the scheduled transition from the automated driving allowed zone to the manual driving zone wherein the notification time before the scheduled transition is longer if the level of alertness of the driver is lower and the notification time before the scheduled transition is shorter if the level of alertness of the driver is higher, and generates an emergency pull-over and stop in the event of driver or vehicle abnormalities.
