I love KITT, but the problem with actually having one is that he’s always going to drive like an ‘80s F-body, and the yoke steering wheel would be a pain. But I’d love to have him in my living room.

Well said. I hate to be one of those people who says “they don’t make ‘em like they used to”, but IMO, car interior design peaked in the mid-2000s, at the end of the button and knob era but before screens took over.

In this case, it seems boring is a good thing.

I’ve been against touchscreens in cars for a long time, and this only strengthens my resolve. Everything in a car should be operable by buttons and knobs that can be identified and used without looking at them.

$3000 of profit... golly, that’s enough for five more Moab projects!

The entire point of this article is that this person doesn’t have that option.
