Steering device

A steering device mounted on a moving object, the steering device comprising:

• a rotation part attached to the moving object so as to be rotatable;
• and
• a gripping part connected to the rotation part, wherein
• the gripping part includes:
• a core metal part configured to be symmetrical across the rotation part;
• and
• a covering part configured to at least partially cover the core metal part, wherein the covering part includes:
• a first conductive part arranged on one side with respect to a symmetrical plane of the core metal part, the first conductive part formed of a material having conductivity;
• and
• a second conductive part arranged on the other side with respect to the symmetrical plane of the core metal part, the second conductive part formed of a material having conductivity, wherein
• the first conductive part and the second conductive part are arranged independently from each other, wherein
• the steering device further comprises:
• a harness electrically connecting the first conductive part and the second conductive part;
• and
• a detector electrically connected to the first conductive part and the second conductive part via the harness, the detector configured to detect gripping condition of the gripping part based on change in capacitance generated in at least one of the first conductive part and the second conductive part.
