Electronic device, method for controlling electronic device, and program

A method for controlling an electronic device included in a mobility device, the method comprising:

• transmitting a transmission wave from a transmission antenna;
• receiving, from a reception antenna, a reflected wave that is the transmission wave having been reflected;
• detecting an object, based on a transmission signal transmitted as the transmission wave and a reception signal received as the reflected wave;
• and
• determining whether the mobility device is rearmost among multiple mobility devices traveling in a platoon, in accordance with whether an object having a relative velocity of a predetermined threshold or less relative to the mobility device is detected at a predetermined distance behind the mobility device in a traveling direction of the mobility device.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing computer program instructions, which when executed by an electronic device included in a mobility device, cause the electronic device to:

• transmit a transmission wave from a transmission antenna;
• receive, from a reception antenna, a reflected wave that is the transmission wave having been reflected;
• detect an object, based on a transmission signal transmitted as the transmission wave and a reception signal received as the reflected wave;
• and
• determine whether the mobility device is rearmost among multiple mobility devices traveling in a platoon, in accordance with whether an object having a relative velocity of a predetermined threshold or less relative to the mobility device is detected at a predetermined distance behind the mobility device in a traveling direction of the mobility device.
