Summary:The invention relates to a semi-autonomous mode control. In a steering system, an energy absorbing member is plastically deformed by being drawn by a drawing shaft during a secondary collision. A first drawing shaft or a plurality of second drawing shafts is provided as the drawing shaft. The first drawing shaft or an adjusted shaft among the second drawing shafts is driven to change a drawing portion of the first drawing shaft that is engaged with the energy absorbing member to draw the energy absorbing member during the secondary collision or to change the number of the second drawing shafts engaged with the energy absorbing member to draw the energy absorbing member during the secondary collision such that a shock absorbing load is changed.
