Anki unveils robotic Supertrucks battle-racing vehicle combat toys

Anki has created one of the most popular toys with its Anki Overdrive robotic cars. And now it is expanding its selection of vehicles with the unveiling of its robotic Supertrucks.

These are app-controlled toys with enough artificial intelligence that they can drive themselves around a track. You can use the app to control actions such taking over the truck and shooting rockets at other players’ cars. The San Francisco company hopes that Anki Overdrive’s latest trucks will further convince consumers that its A.I. — the product of more than six years of research — will deliver a high-end and continuously upgradeable experience for people who want more than just toy cars.
