First Claim
1. An information presenting apparatus for use in an autonomous vehicle capable of switching, based on a travelling condition of the vehicle and an outside circumstance of the vehicle, between autonomous driving control, in which the vehicle is driven autonomously, and manual driving control, in which the vehicle is driven by a driver, the information presenting apparatus comprising:
- a system confidence level calculator configured to calculate a system confidence level which indicates a status of a control system when executing the autonomous driving control;
an information display configured to present, to the driver, information on allowableness of an action other than driving; and
an information presentation controller configured to control switching of a content of the information presented on the information display according to a result of comparison between the system confidence level calculated by the system confidence level calculator and a predetermined threshold.
