I saw a news story on CBS tonight, but I can't find it. I will just describe what I remember.
A policeman gets into his car and turns the siren and lights on by telling it to. The policeman made a comment like "It's like the Knight Rider car, KITT." But he doesn't call his car KITT, he calls it Betsy.
I thought this would be interesting to all of you. I hope to be able to find a video or news story so it is closer to the actual thing. Maybe tomorrow *shrug*

It sounds like basic voice-command AI in a normal car. It most likely won't have a personality. I think I've heard about it, but I don't really remember much

No it doesn't have a personality, but it is still kinda neat. It is a KITT for the loser people.

Well, there's now a car that brakes to avoid a collision, but I have my doubts at how reliable that would be.

Of course not! but if people rely on this to stop them in a crash, thereby becoming less careful, it could cost lives.

You do have a point there... -_- (sagely nod)
If people aren't idiots now, imagine what this would do to them on the roads!!!
