The invention provides a steering wheel assembly and an automobile. The steering wheel assembly comprises a steering wheel body, a steering shaft, drive mechanisms and a control device. The steering wheel body comprises a fixed disc and a movable disc. The movable disc is connected with the fixed disc in a rotating mod. The drive mechanisms are arranged on the steering shaft and hinged to the movable disc. The output end of the control device is electrically connected with the drive mechanisms. The input end of the control device is electrically connected with a door lock sensor and a seat sensor. The door lock sensor is used for sending a first signal to the control device when it is detected that a door lock is opened so that the control device can control the drive mechanisms to drive the movable disc to turn over in the direction close to the steering shaft. The seat sensor is used for sending a second signal to the control device when it is detected that the pressure borne by a seat is larger than the preset value so that the control device can control the drive mechanisms to drive the movable disc to turn over into the same plane as the fixed disc in the direction away from the steering shaft. According to the steering disc assembly and the automobile, the steering disc assembly can be folded when a driver gets on or off the automobile, so that a larger movement space is provided.
