Abstract:
The vehicle external notification device includes a notification unit that gives notice of the information to the outside of the vehicle, a proposal action determination unit that determines an action to be proposed to the pedestrian, a notification control unit that causes the notification unit to notify the pedestrian of information on the action to be proposed to the pedestrian, an action detection unit that detects an action of the pedestrian, and an action determination unit that determines whether or not the action of the pedestrian which is detected by the action detection unit is the action proposed to the pedestrian. The notification control unit causes the notification unit to notify the pedestrian of information indicating that the action of the pedestrian is the proposed action, when the action determination unit determines that the action of the pedestrian is the action proposed to the pedestrian.
