Original Abstract Submitted

A vehicle includes a communication device configured to execute communication between the vehicle and a communication instrument different from an instrument mounted on the vehicle, and a control device configured to control the vehicle. The control device is configured to acquire a plurality of types of progress in a process of updating software of the control device. The control device is configured to transmit information on first progress among the plurality of types of progress to the communication instrument by using the communication device. The control device is configured to transmit information on second progress different from the first progress among the plurality of types of progress to the communication instrument by using the communication device in response to a transmission request from the communication instrument.
