To appropriately select a remote function that should be executed in a case where a plurality of remote functions can be executed.SOLUTION: The present invention relates to a remote function selection unit 24 for selecting a remote function that should be executed in an automatic driving vehicle 2 with a plurality of remote functions for performing remote traveling mounted therein. The remote function selection unit includes: an operation determination section 33 for determining a remote function that can be executed at a time point in which the automatic driving cannot be executed; a self-confidence level calculation section 34 for predicting a behavior of a target around the automatic driving vehicle 2 and calculating a behavior prediction self-confidence level of the predicted behavior of the target; and a function selection section 36 for selecting a remote function that should be executed. Based on the behavior prediction self-confidence level, the function selection section 36 selects the remote function that should be executed from among the plurality of remote functions.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】複数の遠隔機能を実行可能な場合において、実行すべき遠隔機能を適切に選択する。【解決手段】遠隔走行を行うための遠隔機能を複数搭載する自動運転車両２において、実行すべき遠隔機能を選択する遠隔機能選択部２４であって、自動運転が実行不可能となる時点において実行可能な遠隔機能を判定する動作判定部３３と、自動運転車両２の周囲の物標の行動を予測し、予測した物標の行動の行動予測自信度を算出する自信度算出部３４と、実行すべき遠隔機能を選択する機能選択部３６とを備える。機能選択部３６は、行動予測自信度に基づいて、複数の遠隔機能のうち実行すべき遠隔機能を選択する。【選択図】図３
