1. An onboard apparatus configured to connect to an other onboard apparatus via a first transmission path and a second transmission path, which are transmission paths of different types, the onboard apparatus comprising:
a control unit; and
a transmission unit configured to transmit communication information to the other onboard apparatus, wherein, the control unit, depending on contents of the communication information, selects at least one from among the first transmission path and the second transmission path as the transmission path to use to transmit the communication information and causes the transmission unit to transmit the communication information via a selected transmission path; wherein
the second transmission path takes less time than the first transmission path to become able to communicate when transitioning from a sleep state or an inactive state to an active state, and
the control unit selects the second transmission path as the transmission path to use to transmit communication information for activation, which is the communication information for activating the other onboard apparatus.
