Vehicle, management device, and vehicle management system

A management device for managing navigation of a plurality of vehicles that are capable of moving autonomously, the management device comprising:

• a first communication circuit configured to communicate with each of the plurality of vehicles;
• and
• a processing circuit configured to determine a traveling path for each vehicle and to transmit an instruction indicating the traveling path to each vehicle via the first communication circuit,
• wherein each vehicle comprises:
• a second communication circuit;
• an obstacle sensor, configured to detect an obstacle;
• and
• a controller, configured to cause the vehicle to move in accordance with the instruction received via the second communication circuit, wherein when the obstacle sensor detects an obstacle on the traveling path, the controller notifies presence of the obstacle to an outside via the second communication circuit;
• wherein upon receiving a notification indicating presence of the obstacle from any one of the plurality of vehicles, the processing circuit indicates presence of the obstacle on a display.
