1. A driving assistance information delivery apparatus, comprising at least one processor comprising:
an information acquisition circuitry to acquire information from a plurality of information provision apparatuses;
a requirement item extraction circuitry to extract information for determining whether or not restriction of automated driving or driving assistance functions is necessary from the information acquired by the information acquisition circuitry; and
an information delivery circuitry to deliver the information extracted by the requirement item extraction circuitry as driving assistance information,
wherein, while a vehicle is traveling within a first area toward a second area that shares a boundary with the first area, the at least one processor receives the driving assistance information for the second area, and before the vehicle reaches the boundary between the first area and the second area, and within the first area in which there are no restrictions on the automated driving or driving assistance functions, the at least one processor transmits a notification to the vehicle, that enables the vehicle to display an indication informing that the restriction on the automated driving or driving assistance functions is necessary within the second area, along with a distance from a current location of the vehicle to the second area.
