I caught an episode of CSI: NY last night, and it was a real warm-up for the new Knight Rider.

The show was called You Only Die Once, and featured a supercar being used in a series of robberies. The sleek black vehicle was made of a new “memory-polymer” that could repair itself, and also featured lasers, flame-throwers, and tinting windows.

Since the abilities to change shape and self-heal have been announced as the new features of the Knight 3000, it was interesting to see how they might be handled on screen; I wasn’t a big fan of the concepts to begin with, but their presentation in the CSI show was very well done. They presented us with a very cool, believable car of the future. If Knight Rider can do the same, then we’re on to a winner!

If you haven’t caught CSI:NY: You Only Die Once already, look out for it in your TV listings!
