In a vehicle, a pair of left and right drive wheels are linked with a
steering input device so that the drive wheels are turned in accordance
with a driver's steering input force input by a driver to the steering
input device. In this course, a steering assistance force is added to the
driver's steering input force. Driving forces to be applied to the drive
wheels are individually controlled in accordance with a running condition
of the vehicle. A steering reaction force is calculated which originates
from a difference in the driving forces between the drive wheels and acts
on the steering input device. The steering assistance force added to the
driver's steering input force is increased or decreased so as to
compensate the steering reaction force.
