KITT vs. KODA (opinions on my AI)

[K2007]

I know just about every detail there is circulating (and a few inside ones) about KITT. These details combined with modern technology and major automotive reform brought about the KODA, or the Knight Offensive/Defensive Automobile.
When Koda first met Kitt, he was set on the defensive, as his programming tells him to react. The younger AI insisted on picking out everything inferior about his older brother's technology. Now I know Kitt has a lot of patience, but an arrogant little brother? I don't know.

Now, my question is - how would a post-Knight Rider 2000 KITT react?

I think...if he got crankier with age:

Not saying KODA is a Honda ricer... but you get the idea.

[K2007]

You better not be calling a Shelby GT500E Racer a Honda. Yes, I came up with the idea of putting AI in a Shelby in mid-2005. And if someone tries to put Karr in an '06 Charger Daytona, that was also me.

Yes, read the bottom of the message.
I was trying to be funny. Someone with more photoshop skills than me could tweak that.

* I meant "yes I'm not calling it something else"

[K2007]

I know I was only kidding around...that's the one bad thing about text is that it can't show feeling. XP

[snafu]

We need more smilies.

erm... to get back to the point though...
After KR2000 possibly KITT would be a little irked over repeated razzing from a young upstart. His older circuits are the way he was made, goshdarnit! He can't help it! KITT does have patience, but at points in KR you could see it wearing a little thin.

[K2007]

Don't worry! KODA learns his lesson after KITT saves the day. I'm just trying to figure out how the initial conversation would go.

Oooh, that's nice to have a diesel/alternate engine. You can really pull more MPG with a diesel.

[K2007]

Yeah, he runs an anti-emissions hydropowered turbine engine when he's in any mode other than Casual Drive. Then he's a very quiet diesel V8 that gets nearly 70 mpg, since the turbines are a large portion of the car's power supply. Of course, if he runs out of H20, that 70 quickly drops to 24.

His computerized parts run completely on solar energy. Also, if the Boost is fully charged (converts heat energy from braking to kinetic energy for a turbo), the excess energy from the brakes can be held in a storage cell. It would take 10 cloudy days and 10 cloudy nights without rest (he recharges automatically while in standby) or driving (the backup cell) to shut him down. Therefore, it's pretty much impossible for him to run out of power.

How do I think all this up? Well, I'm not insane; I'm just an engineer.

[T.A.H.O.E.]

Ummm ,people...Most,if not all law enforcement will not allow a blue light of any type on any civilian vehicle...trouble errupts in/on Hollywood sets/film sets -even on location when fimers do that...the locals go nuts...maybe purple....I made my arcing scanner light green..it looks cool in fog too! ( thin blue opti-film over amber-yellow--) via local music store-Daddies Junky....light gel sheet.

[GarthKnight08]

Who the hell is KODA? I take its something you made up?

[K2007]

Garth: You didn't even read the thread did you?

And to TAHOE: KODA worked for the NYPD, so the rules parted for him. He also kept it unlit when he was off-duty.

[T.A.H.O.E.]

Sorry but even with law enforcement ( I checked with feds,locals, a few cousins whom are fuzz ) & THEY AGREE

Even they are not above the law...as Police gone afoul recently showing up quite a bit in the news lately.
the law is the law....even with AIs...the laws are absolute.

This is FICTION set in the FUTURE.

Thanks for checking, though At least now I know what color NOT to use in my present-day fiction.
