An object is to provide a technique for enhancing an appealing effect of an advertisement by specifying, in a simple manner, a location where a vehicle is desired to travel at a low speed or to stop, and by guiding, to the location, a vehicle that outputs an advertisement to outside. An information processing apparatus includes a controller configured to: acquire information about traffic; specify, on a basis of the information about traffic that is acquired, a location where a vehicle that outputs an advertisement to outside is desired to travel at a speed at or below a predetermined speed or to stop; determine a route from a location of the vehicle to the location that is specified; and guide the vehicle to the location that is specified, on a basis of the route that is determined.
