Hoping that there is a demo mode that the cars can run themselves?

Hey Mark-

There are two options here:

1) There is the tutorial on the top right of the home screen, which has a demo portion. 

2) Completely separate from that, there is a sneaky east egg that will put the cars into a "cruise control" mode. Here are the instructions for that:

  1. Make sure the car is off. (If it's on, press the gray button on the bottom of the car once to turn it off.)
  2. Tap the gray button twice, with nearly one second in between. This timing is critical. If you tap too fast or too slow, it won't work.
  3. On that second tap, keep the gray button held down until the car's top LED changes color--it will be almost 2 seconds--then let go.
  4. Place the car on any track, any direction. The car is now in self-drive mode, aka cruise control. (You won't be able to control it.)
  5. To take it out of cruise control mode. Tap the car off then back on.

We'll try to post a little video later.
