Abstract
An apparatus and a method for controlling steering of a vehicle can use an Electronic Steering Column Lock (ESCL) system to lock a steering wheel of a vehicle in a situation where a steering direction of a wheel of a vehicle cannot be further changed. The apparatus may comprise: a processor connected to the ESCL system; and memory storing executable instructions that, if executed by the processor, configure the processor to: receive information associated with a vehicle from at least one sensor associated with the vehicle; determine an obstacle condition, whether at least one vehicle wheel is obstructed, based on the information received from the sensor; determine a locking operation of a steering wheel, whether the steering wheel is to be locked, based on the determined obstacle condition; and generate an ESCL control signal for controlling the ESCL system based on the determined locking operation of the steering wheel.
