Original Abstract Submitted
An information processing apparatus includes a controller configured to acquire questionnaire data including a score for each autonomous driving system installed in each vehicle among a plurality of vehicles operated by autonomous driving along a predetermined operation route, the score being an evaluation index of ride comfort of each vehicle, identify, based on an aggregate result of the questionnaire data, a vehicle from among the plurality of vehicles for which the score is determined to be less than a threshold as a first vehicle, and extract first data to be used in analyzing ride comfort from first vehicle information acquired by a first autonomous driving system, which is an autonomous driving system installed in the first vehicle.
