Abstract
A vehicle of a steer-by-wire type includes a steering wheel and a turning device configured to turn a wheel. A control device for the vehicle is configured to: calculate a target turn angle being represented as a function of a steering angle of the steering wheel, and control the turning device such that a turn angle of the wheel becomes the target turn angle; receive driver-specified information indicating a specified maximum steering angle that is a maximum value of the steering angle specified by a driver of the vehicle; and flexibly set the function such that the target turn angle calculated according to the specified maximum steering angle is equal to a predetermined maximum turn angle.
