A friend of mine sent me this clipping from the July 2011 issue of Scientific American. The article talks about new developments in self-driving automobiles.
"It's not quite KITT, the artificially intelligent Trans Am that starred alongside David Hasselhoff in the 1980's television show Knight Rider, but a newly patented computerized driving system takes a step toward the car as driving companion."
"Soon all that will separate your average driver from the 1980s-era Michael Knight will be a 'turbo boost' and a few cans of hairspray."

Re: Knight Rider mentioned in Scientific American
Its amazing how anyone can look at most of todays cars technology and trace most of it back to the inspiration known as KITT. 
Its a good feeling.

Re: Knight Rider mentioned in Scientific American
I want two things to be in place with all this safety equipment.
1) A backup that is smart enough to know if anything goes wrong with the primary and can take over in a split second.
2) None of this equipment should be able to access the internet. Never, ever. Isolate it all.
