Abstract: A vehicle steering system and a vehicle are provided. The vehicle steering system includes a steering shaft and a steering transmission shaft. The steering shaft or the steering transmission shaft includes a first shaft section and a second shaft section. A clutch mechanism is arranged between the first shaft section and the second shaft section. In an engaging state, a transmission connection is established between the first shaft section and the second shaft section, and in this case, a controller determines that the vehicle enters a driving mode. In a disengaging state, the transmission connection between the first shaft section and the second shaft section is disconnected, and in this case, the controller determines that the vehicle enters a game mode.
