To provide a technique that enables an operator to drive or assist a vehicle on the assumption that a communication is interrupted while suppressing a decline in usability regarding a technology for controlling display of a display device installed on a remote instruction device which communicates with the vehicle so as to drive or assist the vehicle remotely.SOLUTION: A remote instruction device according to the present disclosure is configured to perform processing for: displaying a travel video on a display device; predicting an emergency stop position of a vehicle when communication with the vehicle is interrupted; and displaying an object indicating the predicted emergency stop position on the display device by superimposing the travel video thereon. Here, the processing for displaying the object indicating the predicted emergency stop position on the display device by superimposing the travel video thereon includes: calculating a degree of reliability of communication with the vehicle; and changing an external appearance of the object indicating the emergency stop position such that the higher the degree of reliability, the lower the attractiveness.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 【課題】車両と通信し車両を遠隔で運転又は支援する遠隔指示装置に備えられた表示装置の表示を制御する技術に関して、ユーザビリティの低下を抑制しつつ、通信が途絶した場合を想定してオペレータが車両の運転又は支援を行うことを可能とする技術を提供する。【解決手段】本開示に係る遠隔指示装置は、走行映像を表示装置に表示する処理と、車両との通信が途絶したときの車両の緊急停止位置を予測する処理と、予測された緊急停止位置を示すオブジェクトを走行映像に重畳して表示装置に表示する処理と、を実行するように構成される。ここで、緊急停止位置を示すオブジェクトを走行映像に重畳して表示装置に表示する処理は、車両との通信の信頼度を算出することと、緊急停止位置を示すオブジェクトの外観を信頼度が高いほど誘目性が低くなるように変更することと、を含む。【選択図】図５
