Original Abstract Submitted

when a driver of a vehicle is not recognized by a driver monitoring camera during autonomous driving, it is determined whether a notification relaxation condition is satisfied based on a driver status and a driving status of the vehicle. when it is determined that the notification relaxation condition is not satisfied, normal notification processing is executed in which an output device notifies the driver in a first manner. when it is determined that the notification relaxation condition is satisfied, relaxation notification processing is executed in which the output device notifies the driver in a second manner that is more relaxed than the first mode.
