- and
- a memory storing instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the autonomous vehicle to perform processes comprising
- a detection process which detects an incapacitated condition of a passenger of the vehicle;
- in order,
- 1) a stop process which autonomously stops the autonomous vehicle when the incapacitated condition of the passenger is detected by the detection process while the vehicle is traveling;
- 2) an unlock process which causes an automatic lock mechanism of doors of the vehicle to be unlocked automatically after the vehicle has been stopped by the stop process;
- and
- 3) a door opening process which causes automatic doors of the vehicle to be opened automatically after the vehicle has been stopped;
