Anki Overdrive, the next version of the AI-powered robotic racing cars controlled by smartphones, will include modular tracks and smarter vehicles.
Anki's second generation will launch in September, according to a debut video on the company’s official YouTube account, which you can watch above.
Anki Overdrive will supercharge its smart cars with new abilities like drifting and jumping. The fixed, mat-like track of Anki Drive will also be upgraded to a modular design that players can assemble into custom courses in Overdrive.
Since its release, the real-world video game controlled by smartphones has been upgraded with new cars and tracks and support for Android.
