Abstract
A steering device 10 mounted on a vehicle includes: a steering body 12 having left and right sensors 22L and 22R installed in a rim 16 gripped by a driver to detect a driver's condition; and a detection circuit 14 configured to detect a driver's condition on the basis of a detection signal from at least the left and right sensors 22L and 22R, wherein a wire length Ll of a left harness 30L from the detection circuit 14 to the left sensor 22L is substantially equal to a wire length Lr of a right harness 30R from the detection circuit 14 to the right sensor 22R.
Claims5
A steering device mounted on a vehicle, comprising:
- a steering body having a rim to be gripped by a driver, left and right sensors installed in left and right portions of the rim, respectively, each of the left and right sensors being configured to detect a signal relating to a driver's condition;
- a left harness and a right harness connected to the left and right sensors, respectively, to transmit the respective signals therefrom;
- and
- a detection circuit connected to the left and right harnesses and configured to detect the driver's condition on a basis of the detected signals from at least said left and right sensors,
- wherein a wire length of the left harness from said detection circuit to said left sensor is substantially equal to a wire length of the right harness from said detection circuit to said right sensor.
