Title: OPERATION DEVICE FOR AUTONOMOUS DRIVING VEHICLE
Abstract: A display control unit (28) displays a background (44) of a touch panel (20) in a first color and does not display a button for starting autonomous driving on the touch panel (20) when an autonomous driving vehicle (10) is not permitted to travel in autonomous driving from a management center (32) and displays the background (44) of the touch panel (20) in a second color different from the first color and displays an autonomous driving start button (46) for starting the autonomous driving on the touch panel (20) when the autonomous driving vehicle (10) is permitted to travel in autonomous driving from the management center (32).
