    KITT may be closer than we think...

    Audi has tested a driverless car on a track at 140MPH...I'm sure there's more testing, but now all we need to do is have the car talk to us, and for someone to come up with a virtually indestructible "molecular bonded shell".

      "Michael, the door is ajar..."

      "Whaddya mean, KITT, it's a DOOR, not a jar!"

      "Michael, my sensors indicate that you have an elevated blood alcohol level...I'll be driving you home tonight..."

      "Sure thing, buddy *hic*"

        Wouldn't that be KIRR?

        Actually (geek) I think you'll find it's Knight Automated Roving Robot (/geek) (pushes glasses up nose)

          In menacing voice: "I am the prototype of the car of the future."

          I dunno...I think I'd take the car programmed to protect human life over the one that has self-preservation programming.

          In addition to being able to drive itself, I want my car to have the molecular bonded shell, and turbo boost, and maybe "pursuit" mode at least...

            Just not "super pursuit mode" I presume

            Actually I'd like some of the features from the 2008 series too. I like the idea of the car beinga transformer (of sorts) too.

              Screw it. Just go full Turbo Teen. No more worrying about finding a parking spot! ^_^

                Nah, no Super Pursuit Mode.

                And yeah, the transformer aspect would be cool. But not the "panel" transformation. I liked the smoother, nanobot transformation from the pilot "movie".

                  If you want the "transformer" aspect, just get the same voice actor that did the voice for KARR: Peter Cullen, voice of Optimus Prime.




                  I'll shit down the voice actor geekiness now...
