Tesla could soon make that a reality if a recent Twitter post from Elon Musk is anything to go by. The founder of the electric car company answered one Twitter user’s question of “Will we get KITT like AI [artificial intelligence] in @Tesla cars any time soon?” with a simple “Yes”. For those unfamiliar, KITT – an acronym for ‘Knight Industries Two Thousand’ – was the name of the very communicative Pontiac Firebird driven by David Hasselhoff’s character Michael Knight in the original Knight Rider TV series. The muscle car featured a distinctive strip of red lights on its front bumper and was able to talk to Hasselhoff and obey … [Read more...] about Elon Musk says Tesla cars to get KITT-like AI

Elon Musk Promises K.I.T.T. Like AI Assistant In Teslas
It’s been known for a while that Tesla is working on artificial intelligence technology but we still haven’t got any solid information, at least until now. Welcome to another Twitter-sourced Tesla news story, where we take a look at Elon Musk’s latest activity on the social media platform and try to figure out what’s going on behind Palo Alto’s closed doors. When a fan asked Musk about the use of “K.I.T.T. like AI” in Tesla cars, Musk responded simply with a “Yes”, revealing that the electric car maker is indeed working on the technology. Previous reports said that Musk wants to add an A.I. assistant in Tesla models, in the form of an advanced voice control system.

Tesla focusing on a better voice command system makes sense since the interiors of its cars are pretty much devoid of physical buttons … [Read more...] about Elon Musk Promises K.I.T.T.

Your Guide To Grimes And Elon Musk, The Most Bewildering Space Romance Of Our Time
Hello, devout Jalopnik readers. I’m sure by now you’re well aware that Elon Musk, the Tesla/Space X billionaire bro, the big kid with an even bigger wallet, is dating Grimes, the Canadian indie musician/producer/critically acclaimed weirdo, born Claire Elise Boucher. But who are these people? What does it all mean? After all, those are a lot of identity terms! A lot more than just “girlfriend,” you’ll surely note, because Grimes is a complicated and celebrated artist. And one who now might’ve gone and fucked her shit up by dating a very high-profile man who seems systematically at odds with a lot of the grassroots, anarchist-ish, punk-ish things she’s, historically, been viewed as representing—and by wading into Tesla’s labor issues at the same time. Let’s dive in, shall we? Who Is Grimes? Why Is She A Thing? Glad you asked. At some point in 2007, a young woman named Claire Boucher relocated from her hometown of Vancouver to … [Read more...] about Your Guide To Grimes And Elon Musk, The Most Bewildering Space Romance Of Our Time
