Claim 11:
12. A moving body control method comprising:
receiving sensor data from one or more occupant sensors in a moving body indicative of an alertness level of an occupant of the moving body;
determining a driving preparation level of the occupant of the moving body based on the sensor data, in which the driving preparation level is determined to be a first level when sensor data exceeds a first threshold value and a second level when the sensor data exceeds a second threshold value with the second level representing a higher degree of driving preparation than the first level;
setting an automated driving control level to a first lane change approval level that allows for automated driving control including a lane change in which a lane boundary line is crossed once, if the driving preparation level is determined to be the first level, and a second lane change approval level that allows for automated driving control including a lane change in which lane boundary lines are crossed a plurality of times, if the driving preparation level is determined to be the second level; and
controlling the moving body to perform an automated driving control in accordance with the set automated driving control level.
