A vehicle in one exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a power control unit, a first control unit, and a second control unit. The first control unit further acquires collision prediction information indicating whether there is a possibility that the vehicle will collide and executes the discharge control if (i) the collision information is received, (ii) an abnormality occurs in the communication with the second control unit and, the collision prediction information indicates that there is a possibility that the vehicle will collide, or (iii) a voltage of an auxiliary power supply becomes lower than a threshold voltage and, the collision prediction information indicates that there is a possibility that the vehicle will collide.
