Further, the terminal-vehicle communication system 1 can transmit various types of information transmitted from the in-vehicle device 20 to the cloud service 3 in real time and store the information in the storage device 30 of the cloud service 3. Specifically, the terminal vehicle-to-vehicle communication system 1 stores the history of travel data of the vehicle 2 (for example, vehicle speed, accelerator opening, brake pedal force, fuel consumption rate, vehicle position, etc.) in the storage device 30 of the cloud service 3.
