Abstract
The aim is to enable both users and parking lot operators to smoothly address problems that may arise with automated valet parking. [Solution] The processing circuit of the automated valet parking system, in the event of a problem with automated valet parking, interrupts automated valet parking (step S01), notifies the user of the vehicle in question of the problem (step S02), sets the length of the grace period according to the severity of the problem (step S03), waits for instructions from the user until the grace period has elapsed (steps S04, S05), and then stops automated valet parking after the grace period has elapsed (steps S05, S06).
