Original Abstract Submitted
a technique that can prevent conveyance of a moving object from delaying when the moving object stops during autonomous driving by a remote operation. a control device includes a switching execution unit that, when a predetermined first switching condition is satisfied, switches a driving mode of the moving object from a remote autonomous driving mode to a remote manual driving mode, and the first switching condition includes as a condition a case where, during running in the remote autonomous driving mode, the moving object falls in at least one state of (1) a first state where a state of the moving object has become an abnormal state, (1) a second state where a moving object has intruded a surrounding area set in advance to surroundings of the moving object, and (1) a third state where a failure has occurred during the running in the remote autonomous driving mode.
