Evaluation program, storage medium, evaluation method, evaluation apparatus, and vehicle

An evaluation method of evaluating vehicle driving skills using at least one of a sensor that measures a vehicle state, a sensor that measures a driver state, a Global Positioning System receiver, a steering angle sensor, a stroke sensor, and a wheel speed sensor, the evaluation method comprising the steps of:

• obtaining a first evaluation result of the vehicle driving skills based on measured data obtained by the at least one of the sensor that measures the vehicle state, the sensor that measures the driver state, the Global Positioning System receiver, the steering angle sensor, the stroke sensor, and the wheel speed sensor;
• obtaining a second evaluation result of the vehicle driving skills based on the measured data;
• obtaining an overall evaluation result from the first evaluation result and the second evaluation result using conversion information;
• and
• indicating the overall evaluation result to a driver via an output unit;
• wherein
• the conversion information defines the overall evaluation result such that the overall evaluation result decreases as the second evaluation result increases if the first evaluation result is lower than a threshold, and such that the overall evaluation result increases as the second evaluation result increases if the first evaluation result is higher than the threshold.
