Abstract
The turning amount of a turning unit is controlled based on the steering amount of a steering unit mechanically uncoupled from the turning unit, and the change amount of the steering reaction force relative to the change amount of the self-aligning torque in a steering reaction force characteristic is increased as a curvature of a white line is increased when the steering reaction force corresponding to the self-aligning torque is applied to the steering unit based on the steering reaction force characteristic corresponding to the self-aligning torque such that the larger the self-aligning torque, the larger the steering reaction force.
