Abstract

Disclosed are a clutch mechanism, a steering system, and an automobile. The clutch mechanism includes a slidable block and a driving component. The slidable block can be accommodated in a radial spacing between a first end shaft and a second end shaft that are coaxially arranged and radially spaced apart from each other, and is configured to translate along an axial direction of the first end shaft and the second end shaft to realize decoupling or coupling between the first end shaft and the second end shaft. The driving component is configured to drive the slidable block to translate along the axial direction of the first end shaft and the second end shaft.
