Electrical component control device and in-vehicle electrical component device

An in-vehicle electrical component control device that controls an operation state of at least one electrical component mounted in an autonomous vehicle, the in-vehicle electrical component control device comprising:

• an operation restraining unit configured to restrain operations of a plurality of target electrical components that act on five senses of a user when the autonomous vehicle is instructed to move in response to a movement request for the autonomous vehicle to perform automatic valet parking to move between a getting on-off area and a parking area in a parking lot without the user in the autonomous vehicle;
• an operation state recording unit configured to record, in a memory, operation states of the target electrical components at a timing the operation restraining unit restrains the operations of the target electrical components;
• and
• a state restoring unit configured to, after the operation restraining unit restrained the operations of the target electrical components, restore the target electrical components to the operation states recorded in the memory before the user gets on the autonomous vehicle, wherein
• the operation restraining unit is configured to, when the automatic valet parking is performed, switch the target electrical components to a restraining mode in which the operations of the target electrical components are restrained in a more restrictive manner than before the automatic valet parking is performed.

An electrical component control device that controls an operation of at least one electrical component mounted in an autonomous vehicle, the electrical component control device comprising:

• at least one processor programmed to:
• determine whether a movement request for moving the autonomous vehicle without a user in the autonomous vehicle is received;
• restrain operations of a plurality of target electrical components that act on five senses of the user when the autonomous vehicle is instructed to move in response to the movement request;
• record, in a memory, operation states of the target electrical components at a timing of restraining the operations of the target electrical components;
• and
• after restraining the operations of the target electrical components, restore the target electrical components to the operation states recorded in the memory before the user gets on the autonomous vehicle.
