K.I.T.T. On-Board Computer Center Console
An 8-cylinder Pontiac Firebird isn't exactly state-of-the-art anymore, even though it's a handsome car, especially as KITT from Knight Rider. But how can you bring KITT's flair into your own car? That was the impetus for this development: The solution: An on-board computer as a center console attachment that looks like a sports car when switched off.
Functions
- Center console on-board computer
- with voice output
- Interior temperature gauge
(Note: The vehicle's climate control system only displays the target temperature, not the actual temperature)
- Interior humidity
- G-force direction indicator with intensity
- G-force value display
- Storage of maximum G-force value and output upon exit
- Monitoring mode (scanner) with motion detection and voice output
- Voice mode with semi-algorithmic and random output
- Music player
Information for interested parties:
I named the center console "AI77". G-forces are acceleration forces, which also include deceleration forces and gravitational forces. The G-forces displayed here are the four directions from the horizontal: right, left, front, and back. However, because the car is never perfectly level, some forces are always displayed that result from the Earth's gravity, g = 9.81 m/s². Due to the very shallow angle, forces ranging from 0 to approximately 0.060 m/s² remain.
