KITT
Sentient TV automobile
KITT is the name of the artificially intelligent car in the 1980s television series *Knight Rider*—a black Pontiac Trans Am that could talk, drive itself, and assist its human partner in fighting crime.
The acronym stands for Knight Industries Two Thousand.
KITT became an iconic example of AI in popular culture, referenced whenever self-driving or talking cars come up: My new car practically drives itself—it's like KITT.
