1. A display control device installed in a vehicle configured to enable autonomous driving, the display control device comprising:
a processor programmed to:
acquire information relating to a periphery of the vehicle, the information relating to the periphery of the vehicle including information relating to a peripheral target object that is present ahead of the vehicle and in a subject vehicle lane in which the vehicle is currently traveling;
determine whether the information relating to the periphery of the vehicle includes information relating to an object requiring caution that is present outside of the subject vehicle lane and has implications for control during the autonomous driving;
in a case in which the processor determines that the information relating to the periphery of the vehicle includes the information relating to the object requiring caution, display an image of the peripheral target object, regarding which the information has been acquired, on a display provided inside a cabin of the vehicle, and display, on the display, an image of the object requiring caution (i) simultaneously with the image of the peripheral target object and (ii) with greater emphasis than the image of the peripheral target object; and
in a case in which the processor determines that the information relating to the periphery of the vehicle does not include the information relating to the object requiring caution, display the image of the peripheral target object, regarding which the information has been acquired, on the display, and not display, an image of the peripheral target object present outside the subject vehicle lane on the display even when the peripheral target object present outside the subject vehicle lane is detected.
