The present invention provides an outside sensing information processing device capable of suppressing the adverse influence on warning of an advanced safety system and an automatic driving system and vehicle control, at the time of using position information of an object detected by another vehicle, by suppressing a position error at the time of reflecting the existence of the object into a map of a present vehicle, verifying position information precision of the another vehicle, and avoiding use of position information of an object provided from the another vehicle depending on a situation. At the time of transmitting position information of an object or an indication detected by an outside sensor mounted in another vehicle or a road, the positions of feature points of an object (stationary object) and an indication as configuration information of an environmental map as the reference of a position are also detected and transmitted. When the present vehicle receives those pieces of information, the position of the object or the indication on the environmental map of the present vehicle is calculated (corrected) on the basis of the relative position relation between the position information of an object or an indication as a target and the position of a feature point and the position of the feature point grasped by the present vehicle. Another vehicle also transmits position information of itself. The present vehicle checks an error of the position information of the vehicle grasped by the another vehicle from the position information of the another vehicle and the relation of the position of a feature point detected by the another vehicle and the position of the feature point detected by the present vehicle. In the case where the error is large or unstable, use of the position information from the another vehicle is avoided.
