CONTROL APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM

A control apparatus (101) for a vehicle (1) comprises one or more processors (110) configured to perform automated driving control of the vehicle (1) by using a machine learning model. The control apparatus (101) calculates a reliability regarding an inference result by the machine learning model while performing the automated driving control. When a first condition indicating that the reliability has decreased is met, the control apparatus (101) performs notification for prompting an operator to check a driving environment of the vehicle (1). When a second condition indicating that the reliability has further decreased in addition to the first condition is met, the control apparatus (101) performs notification for requesting hands-on to the operator.
