There's no app or anything like that - Hot Wheels AI comes with special controllers that connect at 2.4GHz to each car. Once you've got everything to your liking, it's time to race. That's not the only thing about Hot Wheels AI that can be customized - the shells can be swapped out for new designs, and the wheel rims are interchangeable as well (gold-plated and spinning options not yet available). The track pieces can be arranged in more than 40 layouts, allowing you to add turns and straightaways to your heart's content.
