A cleaning apparatus (11a) includes a first group of nozzles (51, 52, 53, 54, 55) for cleaning the sensor surfaces of a plurality of LiDARs (101, 102, 103, 104, 105) for obtaining information of a surrounding region, a first pump (41) for feeding a cleaning liquid to the first group of nozzles (51, 52, 53, 54, 55), a second group of nozzles (56, 57, 58, 59) for cleaning the sensor surfaces of a plurality of cameras (201, 202, 203, 204) for obtaining information of a region overlapping with the region whose information is obtained by the LiDARs (101, 102, 103, 104, 105), a second pump (42) for feeding the cleaning liquid to the second group of nozzles (56, 57, 58, 59), and a drive assist ECU (80) which activates the first pump (41) and the second pump (42). When the drive assist ECU (80) determines that a cleaning execution condition is satisfied, the drive assist ECU (80) selectively activates one of the first pump (41) and the second pump (42).
