11 . The parking assistance method according to claim 1 , wherein
the instruction to change the current parking mode is further configured to be based on information related to an object around the vehicle stopped in the first parking mode, the information being transmitted from an in-vehicle sensor mounted on the vehicle.
12 . The parking assistance method according to claim 4 , further comprising:
receiving an instruction to change the parking mode designating a third parking mode different from the second parking mode; and
performing path correction including: modifying waypoints to be corrected from the second waypoint to a fifth waypoint among the plurality of waypoints defining the teacher path based on a correction amount of at least one of position and orientation of the vehicle, the correction amount being a difference between the second waypoint and a fourth waypoint defining the third parking mode; and defining the teacher path by a plurality of waypoints including the corrected waypoints from the fourth waypoint to the fifth waypoint.
13 . The parking assistance method according to claim 4 , further comprising:
receiving an instruction to change a redirection mode designating a vehicle mode of the vehicle in first redirection starting from the first waypoint among the plurality of waypoints defining the teacher path; and
modifying waypoints to be corrected from a sixth waypoint defining a first vehicle mode in the first redirection to an eighth waypoint among the plurality of waypoints defining the teacher path based on a correction amount of the vehicle mode in the first redirection, the correction amount being a difference between the sixth waypoint and a seventh waypoint defining a designated second vehicle mode on the teacher path, and defining the teacher path by a plurality of waypoints including the corrected waypoints from the seventh waypoint to the eighth waypoint.
