A driverless vehicle capable of being steered, and includes a number of driven wheels, a steering linkage assembly, and a steering controlling system. The steering controlling system includes a steering wheel, a number of light receivers, a fixing ring, a number of light emitters, a controller, and a processor. The steering linkage assembly is coupled with the driven wheels and the steering wheel. The light receivers are positioned on the steering wheel. The fixing ring positions the light emitters corresponding to the light receivers. The controller controls only one of the light emitters emitting light rays each time. The processor determines a turning direction and a turning angel according to a location of a current light receiver and a location of a preceding light receiver. The steering wheel steers the driven wheels to turn according to the turning direction and the turning angle.
