Abstract
To provide a steering system that may simultaneously allow manual steering and automatic steering, and in addition ensure the same steering feeling as normal even if the manual and automatic steering are simultaneously performed, there is provided a steering system including: a target reactive force generating unit for generating a target value of a reactive torque; a reactive torque detecting unit for detecting a reactive torque; a reactive torque controlling unit for controlling a drive torque; a steerable vehicle wheel controlling mechanism for controlling a steering direction of steerable vehicle wheels; an actual steering detecting unit for detecting the actual steering angle of the steerable vehicle wheels; a target steering angle generating unit for generating a target value of the steering angle of the steerable vehicle wheels; and an actual steering angle controlling unit for driving and controlling the steerable vehicle wheel controlling mechanism.
