1. An autonomous traveling vehicle including a controller, an external camera and an internal camera, wherein
the controller is configured to perform:
receiving, from a server that monitors the autonomous traveling vehicle, an imaging mode switching command for switching an imaging mode, the imaging mode switching command including any of a selection of an external imaging mode, an internal imaging mode, and an external and internal imaging mode;
determining, in the received imaging mode switching command, which imaging mode is selected among the external imaging mode, the internal imaging mode, and the external and internal imaging mode; and
transmitting, as image data requested by the received imaging mode switching command, external image data to the server in response to the imaging mode switching command including a selection of the external imaging mode, the external image data obtained by imaging an outside of the autonomous traveling vehicle by the external camera;
transmitting, as the image data requested by the received imaging mode switching command, internal image data to the server in response to the imaging mode switching command including a selection of the internal imaging mode, the internal image data obtained by imaging an inside of the autonomous traveling vehicle by the internal camera; and
transmitting, as the image data requested by the received imaging mode switching command, both the external image data and the internal image data to the server in response to the imaging mode switching command including a selection of the external and internal imaging mode, wherein
a first imaging resolution of the image data at the time of capturing the external image data in the external imaging mode is determined in advance, as a predetermined setting of the external imaging mode, so as to be lower than a second imaging resolution of the image data at the time of capturing the internal image data in the internal imaging mode, the second imaging resolution being a predetermined setting of the internal imaging mode, and
a third imaging resolution at the time of capturing the internal image data in the external and internal imaging mode is determined in advance, as a predetermined setting of the external and internal imaging mode, so as to be lower than the second imaging resolution at the time of capturing the internal image data in the internal imaging mode.
