1. A host vehicle configured to be able to automatically change lanes, the host vehicle comprising:
an object recognition device, comprising a first processor, configured to:
recognize a surrounding vehicle present around the host vehicle; and
calculate a relative position of the surrounding vehicle with respect to the host vehicle; and
a display device, comprising a second processor, configured to display information to be provided to an occupant of the host vehicle,
wherein the display device is further configured to:
display the surrounding vehicle at the relative position calculated by the object recognition device along with the host vehicle;
display a mark, at a side of the host vehicle, showing that a lane change is planned to be performed at a predetermined space in a destination driving lane and that the surrounding vehicle is having an effect on the lane change at the destination driving lane, the destination driving lane being a destination of the lane change that is planned to be performed by the host vehicle;
make a position of the mark change in accordance with the relative position of the surrounding vehicle with respect to the host vehicle when the surrounding vehicle is having the effect on the lane change at the destination driving lane, and
when the surrounding vehicle is having the effect on the lane change in the destination driving lane, and the surrounding vehicle is located behind a rear end of the host vehicle outside of a range of display of the display device, display the mark aligned with the rear end of the host vehicle and superimposed on the destination driving lane.
2. The host vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the display device is further configured to:
when the surrounding vehicle is having the effect on the lane change in the destination driving lane and the surrounding vehicle is present in the range of display of the display device, the display device makes the predetermined space a space behind the surrounding vehicle.
3. The host vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the display device is further configured to:
display the mark in a first display mode, when waiting to perform the lane change; and
display the mark in a second display mode, when performing the lane change,
wherein the first display mode is different from the second display mode.
4. A display method for displaying information to be provided to an occupant of a host vehicle on an information display screen, the display method comprising:
displaying a surrounding vehicle present around the host vehicle together with the host vehicle,
displaying a mark, at a side of the host vehicle, showing that a lane change is planned to be performed at a predetermined space in a destination driving lane and that the surrounding vehicle is having an effect on the lane change at the destination driving lane, the destination driving lane being a destination of the lane change that is planned to be performed by the host vehicle,
making a position of the mark change in accordance with a relative position of the surrounding vehicle with respect to the host vehicle when the surrounding vehicle is having the effect on the lane change at the destination driving lane, and
when the surrounding vehicle is having the effect on the lane change in the destination driving lane, and the surrounding vehicle is located behind a rear end of the host vehicle outside of a range of display of the information display screen, displaying the mark aligned with the rear end of the host vehicle and superimposed on the destination driving lane.
5. A non-transitory computer storage medium storing a computer-executable program for displaying information to be provided to an occupant of a host vehicle, that when executed by at least one processor of the host vehicle, causes the host vehicle to:
display a surrounding vehicle present around the host vehicle together with the host vehicle on an information display screen of the host vehicle,
display a mark, at a side of the host vehicle, showing that a lane change is planned to be performed at a predetermined space in a destination driving lane and that the surrounding vehicle is having an effect on the lane change at the destination driving lane, the destination driving lane being a destination of the lane change that is planned to be performed by the host vehicle,
make a position of the mark change in accordance with a relative position of the surrounding vehicle with respect to the host vehicle when the surrounding vehicle is having the effect on the lane change at the destination driving lane, and
when the surrounding vehicle is having the effect on the lane change in the destination driving lane, and the surrounding vehicle is located behind a rear end of the host vehicle outside of a range of display of the information display screen, display the mark aligned with the rear end of the host vehicle and superimposed on the destination driving lane.
