Abstract
The present invention provides a control device that can detect operators who are presumed to be in a state where operating a mobile device is undesirable, such as dementia, while also minimizing inconvenience for healthy operators. [Solution] In the control device 10, the question control unit 3 displays a question on the display unit 13 to the driver operating the vehicle, and the output control unit 5 issues a warning or restricts the starting of the vehicle's engine based on the driver's answers to the questions. The question control unit 3 also controls the frequency of presenting subsequent questions based on the driver's answers.
