ABSTRACT:
A steering device in which a steering wheel which a driver operates and wheels which are steered are not mechanically connected has a target turning angle determination device which determines a target turning angle of the wheels according to an operation amount of the steering wheel, a turning angle sensor which measures an actual turning angle of the wheels, a steering motor which turns the wheels according to a deviation between the target turning angle and the actual turning angle, a target steering reaction force setting section which determines a steering reaction force to be applied to the steering wheel, and a steering reaction force motor which applies the steering reaction force, in which a rate of increase of the steering reaction force is raised when the actual turning angle approaches a maximum turning angle.
