1. A vehicle, comprising:

  • at least one touch input device mounted within the vehicle and configured to sense a touch input of a user based on an electrode pattern mounted on a base thereof by forming an electrode on an injection object; and

    a controller configured to operate apparatuses mounted within the vehicle based on the sensed touch input, whereinthe base of the at least one touch input device includes a first base and a second base stacked on the first base,the electrode pattern includes a first electrode pattern and a second electrode pattern, wherein the first electrode pattern includes a first pattern groove formed on a surface of the first base and wherein the second electrode pattern includes a second pattern groove formed on a surface of the second base,the first electrode pattern and the second pattern groove are respectively formed in the pattern groove,the base is formed of multiple layers, the multiple layers including the first base and the second base,the base includes a multi-curved surface shape,each of the electrode patterns is designed to correspond to a shape of the base,the at least one touch input device is fabricated by forming each of the pattern grooves on the base by emitting laser beams thereto and disposing each of the electrode patterns including a conductive material and a wiring unit configured to connect the each of electrode patterns with a circuit board in each of the pattern grooves, andthe base includes a metal complex that is reduced to metal when the laser beams are emitted to one surface of the base, thereby forming metal seed in each of the pattern grooves,wherein the circuit board is located at a bottom of the touch input device, andwherein the electrode patterns are positioned along a top surface of the touch input device.
