Light! 004 Magazine by secpho - The Car of the Future

secpho - collaborate to innovate
We have imagined the car of the future conditioned by the TV and cinema industry. Thus, in the 80s, we were excited to see how Michael Knight, protagonist of the series “The Fantastic Car”, faced injustice by driving a high-tech car, the so-called KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand), whose artificial intelligence turned this autonomous vehicle into the ideal copilot. For its part, the batmobile claimed our attention with aerodynamics that imitated nature (a bat) and enhanced its speeds of vertigo. Nature also inspires the gull-wing doors of the Delorean DMC-12; however, it was not his design that...
