Claim 0:
1. A vehicle remote instruction training device that trains a remote commander who issues a remote instruction to an actual autonomous vehicle, the vehicle remote instruction training device comprising:
a commander interface including
an information output user interface configured to show a situation of the actual autonomous vehicle to the remote commander, and
an instruction input user interface for the remote commander to input the remote instruction to the actual autonomous vehicle; and

a server provided separately from the commander interface and connected with the commander interface, the server including
an input-output device for a user different from the remote commander, and
a processor configured to
allocate, to the remote commander, a plurality of monitor periods in which the remote commander issues the remote instruction to the actual autonomous vehicle such that the actual autonomous vehicle drives along a trajectory corresponding to the remote instruction,
show, during an interval between monitor periods of the plurality of monitor periods, through the information output user interface, a virtual situation with time variation to the remote commander, the virtual situation being a situation of a virtual vehicle that is a virtual autonomous vehicle, the remote commander being a trainee,
recognize an input of the remote instruction input into the instruction input user interface by the remote commander,
obtain a concentration degree of the remote commander based on a timing of the remote commander gripping the instruction input user interface after the virtual situation is shown, and
evaluate the remote commander based on the concentration degree of the remote commander, and a timing or a content of the remote instruction,

wherein the processor is configured to show to the remote commander, as the virtual situation, same information as a case of issuing the remote instruction to the actual autonomous vehicle, and not to indicate to the remote commander that the vehicle remote instruction training device is in a training mode.
