To project and display information onto a road surface or the like based on information on a vehicle.SOLUTION: A vehicle provided with an image projection device for projecting a video onto a road surface includes: an acquisition part capable of acquiring information on the vehicle; an image projection part capable of projecting an image onto the road surface based on the information acquired by the acquisition part; a headlight control part for controlling turning on or off a headlight of the vehicle; and a control part for controlling brightness of an image projected by the image projection part based on control contents of the headlight control part. A light source of the image projection part and a light source of the headlight are different from each other, and the control part controls the light source of the image projection part so as to more enhance the brightness of the image projected by the image projection part than turning off of the headlight, in turning on of the headlight.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7 【課題】車両に関する情報に基づいて、情報を路面等に投射して表示することを可能とする。【解決手段】路面上に映像を投射可能な画像投射装置を備える車両であって、前記車両に関する情報を取得可能な取得部と、前記取得部が取得した前記情報に基づき、画像を路面に投射可能な画像投射部と、前記車両のヘッドライトの点灯又は消灯を制御するヘッドライト制御部と、前記ヘッドライト制御部の制御内容に基づいて前記画像投射部が投射する画像の輝度を制御する制御部と、を具備し、前記画像投射部の光源と前記ヘッドライトの光源とは異なるものであり、前記制御部は、前記ヘッドライト点灯時において、前記画像投射部が投射する画像の輝度を前記ヘッドライト消灯時より高めるように、前記画像投射部の光源を制御する、【選択図】図７
