In a bizarre incident that has left many scratching their heads, a car made famous for its high-tech features in the 1980s TV series Knight Rider has been cited for speeding in New York City. The iconic Pontiac Trans Am, known as KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand), was reportedly traveling at a speed of 65mph in a 45mph zone when it was stopped by police. The car, which has been on a cross-country tour to celebrate its 40th anniversary, has become a beloved attraction for fans of the classic TV show. As the car's owners prepare to defend the speeding charge, they may face an uphill battle in convincing authorities that a 40-year-old car with a artificially intelligent computer system is not to blame for the alleged infraction.
