a terminal identification section configured to identify a portable terminal corresponding to authentication information authenticated by an authentication device provided at the vehicle;
a driver's terminal setting section configured to set a driver's terminal used by a driver, based on information received from the identified portable terminal; and
a notification section configured to notify the driver's terminal in a case in which a predetermined condition is satisfied in an autonomous driving state in which all driving operations are performed by the vehicle, wherein
the authentication device is provided peripherally to a plurality of seats including a driver's seat,
the driver's terminal setting section sets, as the driver's terminal, a portable terminal corresponding to authentication information authenticated by the authentication device provided at the driver's seat,
a transition to an autonomous driving state from a manual driving state is restricted until setting of a driver's terminal is performed by the driver's terminal setting section, and
the notification section is configured to notify the driver's terminal when a distance or a time required for the vehicle to transition from the autonomous driving state to the manual driving state is less than a predetermined value.
