Abstract
A steering system includes: an operation device including an operation member and a reaction force application device; a turning device mechanically cut off from the operation device and configured to turn a wheel according to a control current; and a controller configured to control the turning device and the reaction force application device based on an operation signal relating to an action of the operation member. The steering system is configured to switch between a normal mode of turning the wheel based on the operation signal and a virtual mode of steering a virtual mobile body based on the operation signal. In the virtual mode, the controller sets the control current to a current value at which the wheel does not turn regardless of the operation signal, and sets the operation reaction force based on a predetermined oscillation component of a signal received from the turning device.
