Great video! I loved how the functionality of the electronics in the car was prioritized over aesthetics. It's a fantastic example of how technology can be designed with a purpose to address specific needs and functions. This reminded me how IBM's approach to innovation involved letting their development team play and experiment which resulted in useful inventions. There was an Alan W. Watts lecture that I happened to listen to some time back, where he spoke about how the universe is predisposed to play and that creativity often flourishes when there is no regimented approach - the team is free to create and experiment. It is interesting to see what emerges from all this. Thank you for sharing this video, it's always exciting to see creative and functional electronics being implemented in new and innovative ways!
Thank you, Matthew - We wanted to create a visually accurate replica of the TV car, but with all indicators representing real functions. This was quite a challenge, but I think we achieved exactly that after many years of development. Your words of encouragement are much appreciated. - Neil
Hi, where are you based ? I am currently re-designing the electronics, but may still have one of each of the modules, except the voice display. Mail me for more details neil_john_breakwell@hotmail.com
If I were to build Kitt this is exactly how I'd want it done. Beautiful work 😙👌

Hello, would you fabricate an identical set that I could purchase? I'm not building a replica, just a retro futuristic hot rod.

Wow very nice 👍
Very nice. Did you use microcontrollers.
Thanks. Yes, all the dash modules are custom designed and based around the Microchip PIC16F877A microcontroller, programmed in assembler code.
