A steering apparatus for a vehicle, includes: a handle element for actuating the steering by hand; a lever element for transmitting a torque to a steering axle of the steering column of the vehicle in order to steer the vehicle; and a coupling device for coupling the handle element to the lever element so as to convert a force in order to convert a steering movement carried out on the handle element into a rotational movement of the lever element about a steering angle with respect to the steering column. The handle element is rotatably mounted relative to the lever element, and the coupling device is designed to convert the rotational movement of the lever element that occurs in the event of a steering movement into a translational movement of a coupling element of the coupling device, and then convert the translational movement back into a rotational movement of the handle element relative to the lever element such that during the translational movement of the coupling element, the coupling element is operatively connected to a guide, in the sense of a forced guiding process, such that a geometric course of the guide defines a steering angle-based curve of the rotational movement of the handle element.

The present disclosure relates to an integrated control apparatus for an autonomous driving vehicle, in which operation for accelerating, braking, and steering of a vehicle is implemented through one integrated lever and buttons for starting and shifting of a vehicle are disposed on one case together with the integrated lever. Accordingly, the integrated control apparatus can be easily used for an autonomous driving vehicle.

A tilt structure to be provided allows the tilt of a console to be changed through simple motion and has a simple configuration. A link mechanism (a mechanism similar to a slider crank mechanism) composed of three turning pairs and one sliding pair is formed using a first frame 20, a second frame 25, a slider 37, and a connection member 30. The tilt structure includes a control member 40 or 47 for fixing or unfixing the tilt of the second frame 25. The control member 40 or 47 is provided controllably in order to lock or unlock motion of the link mechanism.

A controller controls the steering device so as to cause a vehicle body to turn toward the left when a left steering lever is operated without a right steering lever being operated. The controller controls the steering device so as to cause the vehicle body to turn toward the right when the right steering lever is operated without the left steering lever being operated. The controller reduces the rotation speed of the engine when both the left steering lever and the right steering lever are operated and both the operation amount of the left steering lever and the operation amount of the right steering lever are equal to or greater than a first threshold.
