Information processing system, program, and information processing method

A non-transitory information storage medium having a program stored thereon which, when executed by a processor, causes a vehicle, which is able to communicate with a server that stores weather information indicating the weather, to:

• receive first weather information for an area from the server, the vehicle being located in a subarea within the area;
• identifying a prescribed operating state of an onboard device of the vehicle, the prescribed operating state corresponding to the weather indicated by the first weather information for the area;
• selectively acquire an image capturing a scene outside the vehicle responsive to the operating state of the onboard device being different from the prescribed operating state;
• and
• transmit the image to the server in association with the subarea.

An information processing method which is performed by an information processing system including a vehicle and a server that is able to communicate with the vehicle, the information processing method comprising:

• causing the server to store first weather information for an area indicating weather within the area;
• causing the vehicle, while located in a subarea within the area, to receive the first weather information for the area from the server;
• causing the vehicle to identify a prescribed operating state of an onboard device of the vehicle, the prescribed operating state corresponding to the weather indicated by the first weather information for the area;
• causing the vehicle to selectively acquire an image capturing a scene outside the vehicle responsive to the operating state of the onboard device being different from the prescribed operating state;
• causing one of the vehicle and the server to detect weather from the image;
• causing the server to selectively store second weather information for the subarea responsive to the weather detected from the image being different from the weather indicated by the first weather information for the area, the second weather information indicating the weather detected from the image;
• and
• causing the server to provide information to a client including the first weather information for the area and the second weather information for the subarea.
