Well, personally I like to think of KITT as an incredibly well designed peace of AI software that was carried from one car to the next. As the car improves, so does the KITT software.
I recall having a talk with my brother, when I was 6 years old, while looking at my dad's bay window bus. The discussion was all about how we would love to make it talk, and speak to us when we needed directions to a place...
Well, that's done and dusted, in more than one way.
With the modern day KITT, transforming the way it does, our generation's children are saying:
"Damn, I'd like a car that could turn into a plane at the push of a button." or
"Wouldn't it be nice if I only needed one car to go to Kilarney and Middle-of-nowhere."
With the advances in nano-technology, a transforming car isn't that unrealistic. What is unrealistic right now, but not for long, is the 64, 128bit nitrogen cooled processors that the new KITT has as a brain. Also keeping in mind that KITT would need to be running around with something in the region of 400 Tera-bites of solid state data storage... and electronics that allow visual display on the body, sensory equipment capable of measuring photon excitement levels at a distance of no less than a mile...
That there is the ridiculous bit, but I can't stop myself thinking... "How am I going to get Christn to do all those things."
