Abstract
A vehicle steering device includes a control unit that determines a turning angle of wheels in accordance with a steering angle of a steering wheel provided in a vehicle and mechanically separated from the wheels. The control unit determines whether or not a previous vehicle speed is higher than a predetermined speed when a state of a start switch that starts a driving unit of the vehicle is switched from an ON state to an OFF state. If the previous vehicle speed is higher, the control unit continuously turns ON a power supply of the vehicle steering device regardless of a current vehicle speed until a predetermined time elapses, and turns OFF the power supply of the vehicle steering device after the predetermined time elapses. If the previous vehicle speed is not higher, the control unit turns OFF the power supply of the vehicle steering device.
