Abstract
A remote support apparatus remotely supports a travelling of a vehicle. The remote support apparatus communicates wirelessly with the vehicle. The remote support apparatus wirelessly acquires an image of a view in a travelling direction of the vehicle and displays the acquired image by a displaying device of the remote support apparatus. The image is taken by an imaging device of the vehicle. The remote support apparatus displays a set steering angle line in the image displayed by the displaying device. The set steering angle line is a line along which an outer portion of the vehicle during vehicle turning is predicted to move when the vehicle turns at a set steering angle.
