Information output device, output control method, and storage medium

Abstract:

An information output device includes a route acquirer configured to acquire a route to a destination of a vehicle, an output configured to output information, and an output controller configured to cause the output to output guidance information for guiding an occupant to make a lane change to a recommended lane associated with the route to the destination acquired by the route acquirer. When a travel lane of the vehicle is a merging lane that merges with a first road and a distance from a point at which the travel lane merges with the first road to a point at which the lane change is required is less than or equal to a first prescribed distance, the output controller causes the output to output the guidance information before the vehicle joins the first road.
