1. A vehicle steering device comprising:
a steering input unit;
a steering output unit connected to the steering input unit and a wheel; and
a control unit configured to control the steering input unit and the steering output unit,
wherein the steering input unit includes:
a torque sensor configured to detect a torque of a steering wheel and generate a torque signal corresponding to the torque of the steering wheel; and
a first steering sensor configured to detect a steering angle of the steering wheel and generate a steering signal corresponding to the steering angle of the steering wheel,
wherein, when the torque signal is generated and the steering signal is not generated or smaller than a reference value, the control unit directly controls the steering output unit according to a preset autonomous driving mode regardless of the operation of the steering input unit.
