An apparatus for steering a vehicle includes a hand steering device, a
road wheel steering device, a steering motor and a connection device. The
hand steering device is a device which a driver of the vehicle
manipulates for steering road wheels. The road wheel steering device
actuates the road wheels. The steering motor, which is attached to the
road wheel steering device, produces an assist force for the road wheels.
The connection device selectively connects and disconnects the hand
steering device and the road wheel steering device. In the apparatus, a
ratio of a displacement made by the hand steering device to a
displacement generated by the road wheel steering device increases as a
speed of the vehicle becomes greater while the vehicle is traveling in a
predetermined range of speed, and a gradient of the ratio is adapted to
be greater when the speed is lower.
