Hot Wheels AI is the love child of slot cars and Roomba

Model cars and track racing are the bread and butter of Hot Wheels, but they might look a little long in the tooth compared to flashy console games like Gran Turismo and Need for Speed. With the new Hot Wheels AI set, toy autos get a bit of a boost -- not just in speed, but in intelligence. Each Hot Wheels AI set comes with two cars, 20 pieces of track and two controllers. The 1/32 scale models look like normal toy cars, with snazzy shells not based on any existing real world vehicle -- the blue design is called "Fast Fish" and the orange one is "Spin King." Flip them over and underneath you'll find two infrared sensors similar to the ones on a Roomba.
