aventure a écrit:Why has no one thought of this before?
This is the Knight Rider sat nav, and we want one. A lot.
Developed by American gadget-types Mio, the Knight Rider sat nav features the slightly camp voice of William Daniels, the original KITT from the early 80s. When you start it up, the sat nav asks: 'Where would you like to go today, Michael?'
How cool is that? How quickly would the novelty wear off?
Other sort-of-authentic KITT touches include a bunch of red LEDs down the side of the sat nav unit, and a Trans-Am on-screen icon.
Just one tiny hitch
the Knight Rider sat nav is only on sale in the US, and it's not clear whether it can be installed with European maps.
So, if you're in the UK, you're looking at a potentially useless but very cool sat nav. We'd still get it.

Mes amis, je dois m'en aller
Je n'ai plus qu'à jeter mes clés
Car elle m'attend depuis que je suis né
L'Amérique
J'abandonne sur mon chemin
Tant de choses que j'aimais bien
Cela commence par un peu de chagrin
L'Amérique
[Refrain] :
L'Amérique, l'Amérique, je veux l'avoir et je l'aurai
L'Amérique, l'Amérique, si c'est un rêve, je le saurai
Tous les sifflets des trains, toutes les sirènes des bateaux
M'ont chanté cent fois la chanson de l'Eldorado
De l'Amérique
Mes amis, je vous dis adieu
Je devrais vous pleurer un peu
Pardonnez-moi si je n'ai dans mes yeux
Que l'Amérique
Je reviendrai je ne sais pas quand
Cousu d'or et brodé d'argent
Ou sans un sou, mais plus riche qu'avant
De l'Amérique
[Refrain]
L'Amérique, l'Amérique, si c'est un rêve, je rêverai
L'Amérique, l'Amérique, si c'est un rêve, je veux rêver
