Device for controlling defogging unit of vehicle

A device for controlling a defogging unit of a vehicle configured to be driven in a driving mode corresponding to a self-driving degree indicating a degree of depending on a self-driving system for a driving operation, the defogging unit exhibiting an anti-fogging function of a window of the vehicle, the device comprising:

• a processor configured to, by executing a program stored in a non-transitory storage medium,
• identify the self-driving degree from a sensor;
• and
• control the anti-fogging function exhibited by the defogging unit, wherein
• the self-driving degree is defined as exhibiting a higher value as the degree of depending on the self-driving system for the driving operation is larger,
• when the self-driving degree is a second value higher than a first value, the processor is configured to control the anti-fogging function to be lower than that when the self-driving degree is the first value, and
• during driving in a predicted section in which the self-driving degree is predicted to be the second value among driving routes searched by a route search system, the processor is configured to increase the anti-fogging function before reaching an end point of the prediction section in which the self-driving degree is predicted to be lowered.

• the processor is configured to lower the anti-fogging function before the self-driving degree increases when detecting a predetermined sign that the self-driving degree increases.
