1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
determining a connection between a first unit that has a boarding space which allows a user to board and is provided with a predetermined facility and that is provided with a first path through which a fluid used in the predetermined facility passes and a second unit that includes a second path and is configured to be separated from and connected to the first unit and that has a drive device of a vehicle that is formed by being connected to the first unit by a connection member that connects a tip opening of the first path and a tip opening of the second path, wherein the connection member includes a connection detection sensor that detects a connection state between the tip opening of the first path and the tip opening of the second path and determining that the connection is based on a signal indicating the connection state transmitted by the connection detection sensor, and
supplying the fluid in the first path to a second unit side to absorb heat generated from the drive device.
