Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle includes a first wheel, a second wheel, the vehicle being movable in a predetermined direction using the first wheel and the second wheel, an imaging device, and a wireless communication circuit set to receive traffic light information which is information related to a traffic light. When the received traffic light information indicates a stop command, a stop position is detected based on a captured image by the imaging device, and the vehicle stops at the stop position.
