Knight Rider led to a whole generation yearning to have a car as cool as KITT. A car that talked, thought and could help you do pretty much anything as you fought crime together. With advancements in car technology picking up speed every year, we think it is the perfect time to try and figure out when exactly a car like KITT could be hitting our roads. We’ve also done the same for the Audi RSQ from I, Robot, the Lexus 2054 from Minority Report before finishing with the Spinner from Blade Runner. To work this out, we’ve looked at each futuristic aspect of these cars and found the best prediction as to when they will be commercially available. Obviously, not every feature of the fictional car will be practical, desirable or even legal. So, we’ve focused on the car’s most important features and figured out when they might be available. Unsurprisingly, a lot of the technology designed in Knight Rider now exists and has often been surpassed. Yet, largely due to the complexity of artificial intelligence, we’re still a long way off driving a car like KITT. For example the Anamorphic Equalizer – Exists The KITT feature we all remember was, in fact, based on the iconic Cylon visor from Battlestar Galactica. For KITT, the Equalizer was its eyes, allowing KITT to see in X-ray Vision or infra-red. A few different car makers have already implemented infra-red night vision into their cars. The first commercial vehicle to do so was the Cadillac Deville in 2000. While there is no word yet on integrating X-Ray vision, it’s unlikely anyone will ever want it. Perhaps it can be a mod?
