The Future of Racing Could Be Yours

I can honestly say we’ve never offered this prize before; perhaps because it never existed before. I’m referring to Anki DRIVE, which calls itself the first video game in the real world. We’ve got an Anki DRIVE Starter Kit now to add to the collection of amazing prizes for this year’s Tech Search Party.

In their 25 Best Inventions of the Year issue, TIME Magazine describes Anki DRIVE as “…a $200 racing game in which toy cars can drive themselves. The cars carry sensors that feed data to an iPhone or iPad, which players can use to control speed and position for their cars. Meanwhile, the Anki app computes actions for the enemy cars so they can compete as craftily as the humans.”

Each car has been engineered to think, to know where it is, make decisions and drive itself. Using your iPhone, iPad touch, iPad, or iPad mini you can take control of a car and play against your friends, or against an Artificial Intelligence (AI) enabled opponent. The starter kit comes complete with a race mat and two cars. The future of racing is here, and it could be yours.
