"Two generations have passed since KITT’s first appearance, but the idea of a super robotized car, capable of taking decisions by itself and that provides comfort to its passengers is still valid and desired..."

I heard about this a few years ago and heard that they had a prototype where they were driving a minivan around the country. I saw it on some news story was quite interesting. Once its perfected im sure there will be a ton of Knight Replica owners going to get that installed into their cars. I hope to be one of them by that time

Wow! Some of those links were very interesting. I really enjoyed the self-parking vehicle. I would love to have that on my car. Why? 1. I can't parallel park

2. I would love to freak people out with it.

Me too.

I have a talking backup alarm I hope to install in Dryden. You drill a hole and mount it to the underside of the car, attach one wire to the frame or ground, and the other to the hot wire on one of your backup lights. Then when the car is put in reverse, triggering the backup lights, the car says "Vehicle is backing up."

I'm sure I'll get some looks at the store parking lot when I get that installed!
