KITT's name stands for either Knight Industries Two Thousand (in the original series) or Knight Industries Three Thousand (updated for the new series). KITT is a highly intelligent automobile designed with one mission in mind: to keep its owner safe at all times. KITT can see, think, talk, remember, drive itself, and smell. KITT has a parachute, tear gas, police lights, a grappling hook, lasers, a bomb sniffer and a surveillance system to spy on people — kind of a high-tech version of MacGyver. (Nope — no new show for him. Yet.)
