ABSTRACT:
A toy vehicle adapted to run on a track wherein the track defines a preselected pathway with a preselected geometrical configuration. A plurality of motion command modules are mounted at predetermined locations on the track and each motion command module has a detectable motion pattern array and the motion pattern array of each command module may be different than the other motion command modules. The toy vehicle has a motion producing device such as an electric motor for providing movement characteristics of the toy vehicle on the track in response to receipt of a motion control signal. A pattern detection unit is mounted on the vehicle and detects, for example, by optical detection, the detectable movement pattern array of each motion command module and generates the motion control signal in response thereto. The motion producing device, in response to receipt of the motion control signal may vary the speed or direction of the toy vehicle and, additionally, may vary the time duration of speed or speed changes as well as direction.
