Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes an acquisition unit and a projection control unit. The acquisition unit acquires surrounding environment information regarding a surrounding environment of a vehicle. The projection control unit controls, on a basis of the surrounding environment information, display of a projection pattern projected on a peripheral road surface of the vehicle from a projection unit mounted on the vehicle. Accordingly, the safety for driving can be enhanced.
