Original Abstract Submitted

A system includes a vehicle and a control device. The vehicle includes a reception unit for receiving an instruction related to remote control from the control device, a vehicle control unit for executing any one of first vehicle control and second vehicle control, the first vehicle control being control based on the instruction related to the remote control, and the second vehicle control being control determined by the vehicle itself in accordance with a traveling environment, and a transmission unit for notifying a predetermined control result to the control device when the second vehicle control is executed by the vehicle control unit. The control device includes a remote control unit, a transmission unit, and a reception unit. When the control result is notified from the vehicle, the remote control unit of the control device executes the remote control based on a content of the control result.
