Remember the ’80s classic TV show Knight Rider? David Hasselhoff drove a souped-up Pontiac Trans Am called KITT. The car on Knight Rider was ahead of its time. Endowed with artificial intelligence, KITT drove the ‘Hoff rather than the other way around. This wasn’t the only time cars were portrayed as thinking, communicating entities: in Transformers, they were also pretty talkative, though in that case, the vehicles were actually aliens from another planet.
