1. An information processing device comprising:
a data processing unit configured to determine an alertness level that is a consciousness level of a driver of a vehicle capable of switching between automatic driving and manual driving,
wherein the data processing unit is configured to:
acquire observation information about the driver,
determine the alertness level of the driver on a basis of the acquired observation information,
acquire the observation information that is part or most of a series of actions of the driver at least at one of a time of transition from automatic driving to manual driving and a time of transition from manual driving to automatic driving,
analyze an action of the driver from a time that a system request issued from the information processing device to the driver to a time that return from automatic driving to manual driving is completed with respect to the system request, and
store the observation information and a result of the analysis, as an evaluation value of quality of return from automatic driving to manual driving, into a storage unit.
