    oh man, what a nice surprise this is. I’m one of the guys who made that kitt app and it’s just great to see it working pretty good after such a long time. I’m not sure why there’s many bad reviews though. Being old as it is it probably doesn’t work properly in some circumstances. I know that’s a shame but my team and I are working on different things in these days, every now and then we chat about updating that app, and we’ll talk about it again now that we’ve seen your video. So thanks a lot for this and the nice review on the store!

I think the reason is something about the libraries we used which are not supported by android anymore while apple is more thoughtful about providing compatibility for older stuff, but I might be wrong.

    ahhh, sweet nostalgia sweeping over me :) Knight Rider was my jam too back in the 80s, along with Airwolf of course and Riptide. Anybody remember that one ?
    Playing my C64 and later Amiga while watching these techy/nerdy shows, what great memories.
    And totally agree on the difference the yoke makes with autodrive, it's crazy when you see the yoke move so much.
    So...nearly 40 years later we finally are getting really close to fully self driving cars, at least one of the promises of the 80s movies/shows fulfilled....still waiting for my hoverboard and my time travelling flying car though

Remember that KITT is an Artificial Intelligence of a Super Computer, that is why TESLA is not there yet.

    The 80's legit had the best TV shows of all time for kids to grow up watching, and aspiring to replicate some day. Sure the stuff these days has better realism, but if you give all the realism, you leave no room to feed your imagination, which is the foundation of building a better world. Growing up in the 80's FTW.

      tie wrapped onto the front grill and had the running lights on one of my black 2.8 injection Ford Capris, always got a pull here in Scotland by the old bill, never charged, all they ever wanted was to look at the car, all black and lowered with a full KAT body kit on it, rear electric venetian blinds inside, these were the days, I was 19 at the time :) Awesome job as always with the video :)

    Love your sense of humor and sense of adventure. Grew up watching Knight Rider. I'd be jealous but am happy a great fan like yourself found this kind of happiness. I also just watched your video where you got to sit in a real Kitt Car. So happy for ya bro! Cheers!

    I can totally see what you meant with realizing that it's actually self driving. It looks so much more impressive just by not having a round steering wheel. It's so simple yet impressive.
    Car manufacturers should have cars with non-round steering options for commercials. I bet it would increase sales just by having that.
    Can't wait to see what else you are doing with that car now.

    Hubcaps and trims (for the hubcaps) would be the next logical step, "Possibly Cobalt Black". in colour? (Darkening glass would also perhaps, so one can see out and not in - this might be illegal though). Also the opening of the doors automatically, and the back tailfin(s)? And - of course - a sliding sunroof! It is recommended that you DO NOT climb into the car when it is moving, however; obviously. (PCB reference in capital letters - in case you wondered why, LOL).
