Knight Rider is now a Smart Car



RoboCar ZMP gets an upgrade. At the time, it was a little robot head on a car frame that came off as cute. Clearly, the Robocar MEV has grown up a little, and looks more like a real car!

Well, a Smart Car, at least. It is definitely following the Knight Rider model as it is self driving! Since it is electric, it is a gentler, more eco-conscious KITT.

So how does it drive on its own? It uses GPS as well as front and rear sensors. It sounds like you can actually buy one now. A self-driving car that isn’t some concept car for a future date? Check the prices out after the jump.

The simplest version, Type A, is about $35,000, and it only has speed control. Type B is at $59,000 and has steering control as well as speed. As for type C, it has automatic braking control as well as imaging and inertial sensors for a price of $84,000.
