| 1. An anomaly judgment system for judging anomaly of an operator detection device that is turned into an ON state when detecting
an operator in a vehicle, the anomaly judgment system comprising:
an actuating switch operable to be turned into an ON state by the operator; and
an anomaly judgment unit that judges the operator detection device as anomalous when a time period during which the actuating
switch is in an OFF state with the operator detection device in the ON state exceeds a predetermined time period.
