1. An integrated memory system for a driving position, comprising:
a steering column including an inner column, and an outer column movable in an axis direction relative to the inner column;
a position detecting unit including a plurality of detection positions and configured to detect a relative position of the outer column with respect to the inner column in response to a movement of the outer column; and
a controller connected to the position detecting unit and configured to set a plurality of driver setting data individually corresponding to the plurality of detection positions;
wherein the driver setting data includes information about positions of a driver seat which correspond to the respective detection positions; and
wherein the position detecting unit includes:
a housing mounted on the outer column;
a plurality of tact switches mounted in the housing; and
a push member connected to a vehicle body and configured to selectively push a button of any one tact switch among the plurality of tact switches in response to the movement of the outer column.
