    Anki Overdrive Starter Kit Test and Review (fun for kids and family)

    Watch us test and play with the Anki Overdrive car track toy. At the end of the video we present the Family Playlab Play Rating where we give ratings (1-5 and 5 is better) in the following categories:

    -Assembly
    -Durability
    -Price
    -Fun score

    Overall we think that the Anki Overdrive is a very fun toy to play with.

    Anki Overdrive is like a smart robot version of a classic slot car race track, where each car is a robot with smart artificial intelligence.

    Disclaimer: Anki did not pay us to make this video. This is a test and review of the Anki Overdrive product, and Anki has had no control of the content of the video.

    Duckietown: Where Self-Driving Cars Meet Rubber Duckies

    This spring, a hands-on course housed at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) took students on a trip to “Duckietown.” The class’ goal was to create a fleet of 50 duckie-adorned robo-taxis that can navigate roads with just a single on-board camera and no pre-programmed maps.

    Self-Driving Car Test: Steve Mahan

    We announced our self-driving car project in 2010 to make driving safer, more enjoyable, and more efficient. Having safely completed over 200,000 miles of computer-led driving, we wanted to share one of our favorite moments. Here’s Steve, who joined us for a special drive on a carefully programmed route to experience being behind the wheel in a whole new way. We organized this test as a technical experiment, but we think it’s also a promising look at what autonomous technology may one day deliver if rigorous technology and safety standards can be met.
