"Greetings - KITT," Spock returns, intrigued to hear such a well-modulated and pleasant sounding voice from a computer. "I am Spock, of the USS Enterprise."
On closer inspection, this is definitely an old-style, Terran automobile - four wheels, internal combustion engine contained in the front compartment, seating for a driver and passengers within. And yet the technology required to program an artificial intelligence capable of autonomous speech and movement is centuries beyond the design of the vehicle.
"I am sure we both have further questions, but if I may commence - when and where were you created, KITT?" Spock watches the scanning light for an indication that the computer is 'reading' him. "I have never heard of Knight Industries, but the quality of your speech is an amazing achievement in itself. The computers on board -"
He has to stop himself from saying any more. Spock rarely has cause to restrain his enthusiasm, yet he finds computers incredibly - stimulating.
