An autonomous vehicle which includes multiple independent control systems that provide redundancy as to specific and critical safety situations which may be encountered when the autonomous vehicle is in operation.

A control system controls a system including an autonomously movable mobile robot. The mobile robot includes a light-emitting unit. The mobile robot is configured to determine the traveling state of the mobile robot associated with a traveling environment of the mobile robot, and to control the light-emitting unit to emit light in different light emission patterns depending at least on whether the determination result indicates that there is an abnormality or there is no abnormality.

A control system is configured to execute system control of controlling a system including a mobile robot that is configured to autonomously move and on which a user operation is executed. The system includes a light emission unit. The control system includes one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to execute the system control. The system control includes light emission control of causing the light emission unit to emit light in different light emission patterns associated with each of a plurality of predetermined conditions. At least one of the plurality of predetermined conditions is a recommendation condition that is a predetermined condition for recommending a user operation on the mobile robot or a non-recommendation condition that is a predetermined condition for not recommending a user operation on the mobile robot.

A controller in a vehicle control system includes a communication state determiner that determines a communication state between a facility communicator and a vehicle communicator in each vehicle, and a recorder. When the communication state determiner determines that the communication state between the facility communicator and the vehicle communicator in any vehicle has a communication failure, the controller obtains vehicle state information indicating a state of a target vehicle being the vehicle having the communication failure at at least one data obtaining point in a target period including at least one of a failure-occurrence point or a failure-recovery point of the communication failure, and records the vehicle state information in the recorder.
