ABSTRACT:
A vehicle steering system includes a first steering mechanism for a manual steering mode and a second steering mechanism for an automatic steering mode. A controller steers the vehicle in accordance with information on driving environment, with the second steering mechanism when the automatic mode is selected with a mode selector. There is further provided a holding device for holding the steering angle of the first steering mechanism when the automatic steering operation of the second steering mechanism is under way. In response to selection of the automatic mode, the controller performs the automatic steering control only when a sensor senses a straightforward neutral position of the first steering mechanism.
