Knight Rider/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

Line 2:

* I have an original series related question. Why the '''HELL''' didn't FLAG supervise the cleanup and disposal of KARR and Goliath after they'd ''supposedly'' been destroyed the first time they fought Micheal and KITT? Not to mention leaving all of KARR's parts just laying around after the end of ''KITT VS KARR'' for anybody to come along and steal, I mean [[What the Hell, Hero?|What The Hell Heroes?]]

** On the subject of KARR, I really don't get what Wilton Knight was going for in making his primary purpose SELF preservation when his intention was to basically create a modern version of the Lone Ranger, out to help people who are in trouble, or desperate. Why would you even CONSIDER making the primary role of the car to protect ITSELF rather than the driver or other folks it's meant to be looking after? Seems like a no brainer.

*** Proof-of-concept prototype. Remember, the man is having to invent artificial intelligence from scratch. Programming an AI around a very simple and objective motive, such as self-preservation, would be an order of magnitude simpler than trying to program one to do something as abstract and complex as make ethical value judgements. KARR was almost certainly never intended for field service at all, just to be an experimental workup that the process of designing and building would teach them valuable lessons by which KITT could eventually be designed. The problem lay in not thinking ahead to 'so, what do we do with KARR once we've finished with it?'

* Wouldn't 2008 KITT's plates draw unnecessary attention? Two-letter plates with no state marking or expiration sticker can't be legal. For a vehicle that's supposed to be covert, they risk some cop becoming curious.

** It's also a blatant disregard of [[I Am Not Shazam]], seeing how the phrase [[Knight Rider]] isn't even supposed to be used in-show, and refers to the driver, not the car.
