While Google and others try to develop a a self driving car, toy maker Mattel has revealed a very different approach - letting a cricket drive.

就在谷歌和其它商家研发无人驾驶汽车的时候，玩具制造商美泰公司展现了它的独特策略——让蟋蟀开车。

Mattel has released a new toy race car for children ages six and up, and it’s piloted by insects.

美泰公司发布了一款全新的赛车玩具，针对六岁及以上儿童，由昆虫驾驶。

The toy is a vehicle and a cricket habitat all in one, and uses sensors inside to turn based on the cricket’s motion. Crickets, however, are not included.

该玩具车集车子和蟋蟀栖身室于一体，通过内置传感器实现“蟋蟀活动的方向即为车身行驶的方向”。

The Bug Racer is a battery operated vehicle in the shape of a winged insect, and it’s ‘powered by eleCrickety,’ according to the website.

网站上写道，“虫虫赛车”是一款需要安装电池的飞虫形赛车，属于“蟋蟀电动车”。

The habitat can hold up to five crickets, and features four different driving modes.

这种赛车内最多可以同时放置五只蟋蟀，驾驶模式分为四种。

Crickets will have to be purchased separately, and Mattel recommends medium to large crickets for best vehicle operation, around an inch in length.
