As a kid, I loved the TV show “Knight Rider.” But, for me, the star of the show wasn’t David Hasselhoff, it was the intelligent automobile KITT. KITT – the Knight Industries Two Thousand – was smart, funny and sarcastic, which is always well received by us Brits. Of course, today, we would call KITT a “bot,” similar to Siri and Alexa, and, although that is true, our modern bots are (for the most part) very polite and not yet capable of reverse handbrake turns at 80mph.
