Claim 7:
8. A nontransitory recording medium provided with a computer program which, when executed, cause a computer to:
request a driver to grip a steering wheel in response to determining that a current driving scene, determined based at least on information collected by sensors in the vehicle, corresponds to a predetermined driving scene;
after the request has been made:
judge based on input information from the driver on the steering wheel whether a steering wheel grip status is a one-handed grip status or a two-handed grip status;
in response to judging that the steering wheel grip status is the two-handed grip status, automatically judge that the steering wheel grip status is a grip completion status where the gripping of the steering wheel is considered finished; and
in response to judging that the steering wheel grip status is the one-handed grip status, further judge at a time point later than when the request was made, whether the predetermined driving scene corresponds to a first type where the one-handed grip status would be sufficient for the grip completion status or corresponds to a second type where the two-hand grip status would be required for the grip completion status
in response to judging that the predetermined driving scene corresponds to the first type, judge that the steering wheel grip status is the grip completion status; and
in response to judging that the predetermined driving scene corresponds to the second type, issue a warning.
