You were the car of the future! At least in your day.

Colin, what are you insinuating?
Colin in vision:
I’m just saying, today’s car of the future might be a little different. Without all this.

Colin, please.

It’s simple. Just design the car of the future… again!
Kitt in vision:
Interesting!
[Video footage]
Colin gets out of the car and starts to walk around it.
Colin vision:
And you’re the inspiration for teams of stem students around the globe working on this right now. Will it be foreign hydrogen?! Will it be powered by batteries?! Will it be biofuel?! Will there be a bazillion buttons?!
There are loads of possibilities!
Kitt in vision:
Shall I calculate, them?
Colin in vision:
No, but your early technologies and intelligence can inspire them.
Kitt in vision:
A turbo boost for the imagination!
Colin in vision:
Exactly!
