More Information
Summary:An electrostatic capacitance sensor is mounted in a steering and is an electrostatic capacitance sensor that detects whether a hand of an occupant is touching a wheel of the steering or not. Moreover, an electrostatic capacitance sensor according to one mode of the present invention comprises: a flexible substrate having an insulating property; and an electrostatic capacitance detecting electrode provided on a surface of the flexible substrate, includes: a first portion following an extension direction of a steering wheel; and a second portion extending out from the first portion in a direction intersecting the extension direction of the wheel of the steering, and is formed so as to completely cover a steering core.
