Abstract:
A vehicle information provision device includes a travel state detection unit, a surroundings situation detection unit, a potential hazard detection unit detecting a potential hazard based on the situation detected by the surroundings situation detection unit, a driver state detection unit detecting the driver state during self-driving of a vehicle; a driver state determination unit configured to determine whether or not the driver is observing the situation in the vehicle surroundings based on the state of the driver detected by the driver state detection unit, and an information control unit that provides information to the driver regarding the potential hazard in a case in which the driver is observing the situation in the vehicle surroundings, and restricts provision of information to the driver in a case in which the driver is not observing the situation in the vehicle surroundings during self-driving of the vehicle.
