PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To extend the time of executing an automatic operation even if a degree of awakening of a driver lowers.SOLUTION: An awakening-degree obtainment part calculates a degree of awakening (S11) and report the degree to an automatic operation control part. The automatic operation control part performs: comparing the degree with a threshold A (S13), and, if the degree is equal to or higher than the threshold A, switching a manual operation mode to an automatic operation permissible mode (S14) and standing by an operation of switching to an automatic operation mode by a driver (No for S15); and, if the driver has performed a switching operation (Yes for S15), switching to the automatic operation mode (S16).SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
