To provide a vehicular agent device that is able to respond to a driver, taking into consideration whether the driver is desiring a response from another person or not, while preventing the driver from becoming a mental state unsuitable for performing a driving operation.SOLUTION: A vehicular agent device includes: an emotion estimating unit 26 that estimates whether an emotion of a driver is a positive emotion that is an emotion of desiring a response from another person or a negative emotion that is an emotion of not desiring a response from another person; a response information generating unit 27 that generates response information indicating a content of response to the driver, based on the emotion estimated by the emotion estimating unit; output units 18, 20 each of which is capable of outputting the content of the response; and an output-unit control unit 28 that does not cause the output units to output the content of the response when the emotion estimated by the emotion estimating unit is a negative emotion of a predetermined level, or that causes the output units to output the content of the response that can change the emotion of the driver to the negative emotion of the predetermined level or below or the positive emotion when the emotion estimated by the emotion estimating unit is a negative emotion higher than the predetermined level.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

    【課題】運転者が運転操作を行うのに適さない精神状態になるのを抑制しつつ、他者からの応答を欲しているか否かを考慮しながら運転者へ応答可能な車両用エージェント装置を提供する。【解決手段】運転者の感情が他者からの応答を欲する感情であるポジティブ感情と他者からの応答を欲しない感情であるネガティブ感情のいずれであるかを推定する感情推定部26と、感情推定部が推定した感情に基づいて運転者への応答内容を表す応答情報を生成する応答情報生成部27と、応答内容を出力可能な出力部18、20と、感情推定部が推定した感情が所定レベルのネガティブ感情のときは応答内容を出力部に出力させず、感情推定部が推定した感情が所定レベルより高いネガティブ感情のときは、運転者の感情を所定レベル以下のネガティブ感情又はポジティブ感情に変えることが可能な応答内容を出力部に出力させる出力部制御部28と、を備える。【選択図】図1
