Abstract:
An information processing apparatus is configured to distribute, to a vehicle, a map showing a road shape of a road on which the vehicle runs makes, for each of a plurality of areas and determine whether it is necessary to update the map of that area. The determination is based on at least either an amount of change from the road shape shown by the map to the road shape at a present time in each of the plurality of areas or the number of occurrences of a predetermined action of a vehicle having run through in each of the plurality of areas.

Claim (Index 17):
A running control method that is executed by a vehicle, comprising:\n detecting a road on which the vehicle runs and a road shape that is a shape of an area around the road; receiving a detection request to detect the road shape from an external information apparatus via a communication network; determining whether a running mode of the vehicle is switched from a normal mode in which to perform normal running to a detection mode in which to, in order to update the map, perform running that detects the road shape of a road on which the vehicle is running; in a case where it is determined that the running mode is switched to the detection mode, switching the running mode to the detection mode and controlling the vehicle to run in the detection mode; and in a case where it is determined that the running mode is not switched to the detection mode, keeping the running mode in the normal mode and controlling the vehicle to run in the normal mode.
