Like David Hasselhoff himself, Knight Rider has become something of an international phenomenon. The show has spun off a few shows, none of which has had the iconic power of the original. In fact, this K.I.T.T. app is not the first available to use the iconic dashboard from the show, however it is the first that I’m aware of that uses voice interaction.
Mind you, the voice interaction is nowhere near the level of Siri, but it does respond with cute phrases whenever you say something and can recognize a few choice words. It’s possible to use K.I.T.T. to listen to your music library as well using voice commands.
Naturally, the app uses sounds as well as the voice of William Daniels (who is hopefully getting some sort of stipend) or a close facsimile. Responses to one’s voice do tend to be random on the app. For example, when I say “Hello, K.I.T.T.” it responds “My databanks have nothing on it.” Then it responded with “Hello”, later with “It’s good to hear your voice”.
The app also has a manual mode to simply listen to K.I.T.T.’s responses plus a “pursuit” mode which simply flashes the famous K.I.T.T. lights based on the ambient sound. The app comes with a decent set of instructions to learn exactly how to make the most out of it.
The K.I.T.T. app is a cute thing to put on your dashboard and pretend that you’re Knight Rider. Personally, I like the idea of having a K.I.T.T. simulator and a Flux Capacitor on the same iPhone.
