A steering apparatus for actively controlling an at least semi-autonomously driven motor vehicle. The steering apparatus includes a steering body having an axis of rotation, a steering wheel handle and a steering wheel canister. The steering wheel handle and the steering wheel canister are rotatably connected to one another about an axis of rotation. An airbag module is arranged within the steering wheel canister, wherein the steering body has an active position and a stowed position, and is movable between these positions. In the active position, the steering body is rotatable about the axis of rotation for active control of a relevant motor vehicle. The airbag module is held in the steering wheel canister in a functionally identical orientation irrespective of the position of the steering body. An increase in the seating and movement freedom of the driver during a (fully) autonomous operation can be realized while maintaining safety.
