Production
The series was announced by Netflix in November 2018. It is based on VTech's Go! Go! Smart Wheels line of electronic toy vehicles.{{Cite web|url=https://www.cartoonbrew.com/internet-television/netfiixs-new-animation-slate-includes-craig-mccracken-nora-twomey-and-jorge-gutierrez-analysis-166163.html|title=NetfIix's New Animation Slate Includes Craig McCracken, Nora Twomey, and Jorge Gutierrez (Analysis)|date=2018-11-06|website=Cartoon Brew|language=en-US|access-date=2020-01-31}}
Netflix streams the show internationally, dubbed into the local language in several countries. Due to the branding of VTech's Go! Go! Smart Wheels line of toys, the title of the show is usually changed to reflect the toy line's name in different countries (such as Toot-Toot Cory Carson in the UK and Australia, where the toy line is branded Toot-Toot Drivers).
The series’ original score, songs, opening theme, and closing theme were composed by Ryan Shore.
