1. An onboard ECU communicatively connected to a plurality of onboard apparatuses installed in a vehicle and a vehicle control apparatus that performs priority determination relating to control of the onboard apparatuses, the onboard ECU comprising:
a control unit that executes processing relating to the control of the onboard apparatuses, wherein
in a case where there is conflict in control, between the control unit and the vehicle control apparatus, targeting one onboard apparatus from among the plurality of onboard apparatuses or an associated onboard apparatus group, the control unit determines priority of the control; and
an onboard apparatus which is a target for priority determination by the control unit and an onboard apparatus which is a target for priority determination by the vehicle control apparatus overlap at least at a portion; and
wherein the processing includes determining the priority is executed by both an onboard apparatus which is a target for priority determination by the control unit and an onboard apparatus which is a target for priority determination by the vehicle control unit;
wherein priority determination by the control unit is prioritized over priority determination by the vehicle control apparatus.
