STEERING DEVICE

A steering device includes a rotation part and a gripping part; the gripping part includes a core metal part symmetrical across the rotation part, and a covering part that covers the core metal part; the covering part has a first conductive part on one side with respect to a symmetrical plane of the core metal part, formed of a material having conductivity, and a second conductive part on the other side with respect to the symmetrical plane of the core metal part, formed of a material having conductivity; the first and the second conductive parts are arranged independently from each other; and the steering device further includes a harness electrically connecting the first and the second conductive parts, and a detector that detect gripping condition of the gripping part based on change in capacitance generated in the first conductive part and the second conductive part.
