1. A processing method executed by a processor to perform processing related to driving control of a host vehicle, the processing method comprising:
acquiring detection information describing a state detected in a traveling environment of the host vehicle;
determining a situation to be monitored for the host vehicle based on the detection information;
setting a safety envelope based on the detection information to include defining a physics-based boundary, margin, or buffer area around the host vehicle;
monitoring a violation of the safety envelope based on a comparison between the safety envelope and a positional relationship between the host vehicle and a target moving object; and
determining a rule for setting the safety envelope, which includes a restriction rule to be applied when an application condition is satisfied and a standard rule to be applied when the application condition is not satisfied, based on a determination result of whether the application condition is satisfied, wherein
the application condition is satisfied when the target moving object is not detected, based on the acquired detection information, in the same lane that the host vehicle is travelling.
