Toy race cars display artificial intelligence on Ankis track Imagine a set of Hot Wheels cars, only theyre racing against each other on their own — careening around a race track, blocking and side-swiping one another. Oh, and they also have rockets and hood-mounted lasers so they can shoot at one another. No, its not a video game. This is Anki Drive, the new toy/augmented-reality hybrid from robotics startup Anki, which officially launched this week. Anki Drive uses the iOS app to control both the AI cars and the player-controlled vehicle. You can either race the cars across the vinyl track or battle against AI opponents in whats essentially a high-tech version of laser tag. While the starter kit comes with just two cars, the app supports up to four vehicles.
