A lot of people already know that K.I.T.T. stands for Knight Industries Two Thousand.
The car’s name is based on the car’s fictional creator, Wilton Knight.
However, in early production the car went by another name: T.A.T.T., the name stood for Trans Am Two Thousand.

Eventually, when the show introduced K.I.T.T.’s evil car twin, they decided to go for a different name. K.A.R.R.
Which stood for Knight Automated Roving Robot, and it was voiced by Peter Cullen.
Cullen was the man behind Optimus Prime from The Transformers franchise.
