KITT not having a rearview mirror
Has anyone noticed that KITT does not have a rearview mirror. One would think that with all of that high tech stuff they would at least give him something as simple as a rearview mirror. But all that high tech stuff is the probably the reason he don't need one.

Rear view mirrror?
Well to answer your this topic as to the best of my knowledge,kitt never ever had the center rearview mirror ,if anybody was paying attention in knight of the pheonix in most closeups the first season overhead was much to large to have a mirror to work with and only the stunt cars had the rearview mirrors,but to be brutally honest the center rearview actually serves as a handicap for when driving atleast for me it is more like a blind spot and serves me no real purpose,so one day I simply tossed it out and now I got more visability and fewer less distractions and it gives my kitt a more authentic "look" as apose to a basic trans am "look" but then again who really wants to have a car that looks the same on every block?...and I know first hand ,I use to live in a neighborhood and there was 9 of us that had either a firebird or trans am of some sort and even a couple of 77'-81' bandit style trans ams!...but then again I live in hotrod central!
but really the rearview mirror just gets in my way!

I figured other than the large overhead consule mentioned earlier, a rear view might show the camera some of the behind the scenes stuff happening in the back seat or behind the car that the audience is not meant to see.
KITT project is on again!

Well KITT simply doesn't need a rearview mirror. You're not required to have one by the DMV anyway (as long as you have driver side mirrors). And as mentioned earlier, Michael could easily get an image from behind him with the TV monitor, and have KITT inhance the image if need be. KITT is an unconventional car, so its only natural he has unconventional abilities.

I remember the episode where KITT almost pleads Michael for many seconds to look at the monitor to see a graphic, where the simple line, "Michael. Road narrows ahead." would have done the job during an action sequence.
Wouldn't surprise me if KITT forced Michael to look at that monitor for a rear view point, as well. (Even if it's off camera.)
