Whenever we drive into a parking garage we wonder if those cables around the perimeter could actually hold our car in the event we drove it off the edge. An Atlanta man maybe had the same idea when he plowed through the cables on the seventh floor of a parking garage in the Buckhead neighborhood. When rescuers arrived all four wheels of the Taurus were off the garage, but the wires were holding the car up and the man was still inside.
The airbag deployed but the man managed to still hit his head in a way that knocked him unconscious. This was probably a good thing as it kept him still as the rescue workers were figuring out just how to get him out. It's also good because it sort of sounds like a suicide attempt and didn't get a chance to jump out of the car. The man made it to the hospital, but his condition is unknown. The Taurus is listed in serious, but stable condition. [AP via 
Apparently the Tuetonic magazine site of auto motor und sport didn't quite get the memo sent out by Land Rover on images of the Detroit-bound LRX concept car from the brand still very much tied to Henry Ford's baby in Dearborn, MI. They've put out ten shots of the new concept along with a whole mess of info about it to add to the one shot we'd already seen earlier this week. We'll give you the link and a bit of detail so you know what you're looking at. Again, it's all German to us, so what do we know. [auto motor und sport]
We here at Jalopnik aren't content to bring you just warmed-over press photos and spy photos. No, we also want to give you warmed-over video from the press reveal! Yup, we're continuing our role as the first to break news on the Knight Rider-Ford story with this video of the KITT from the new Knight Rider -- revealed live today in sunny SoCal. He's a Mustang GT500KR and wait, there's not one, not two, nope, there's three of them. What? Seriously. Here's the scoop from Ford and NBC: "The three cars to be employed in the series include the KITT Hero -- a Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR that is playing the part of the everyday Hero car with 540 horsepower; the KITT Attack -- a super high-speed version of the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR Hero car that transforms into Attack mode with the help of air-ride technology and specialized body parts -- and a KITT Remote, which is a driverless Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR version of the Hero vehicle." Full press release after the jump. UPDATE: Interior sketch below including what looks like a giant flux capacitor on the rear seat! Wow, talk about crossing sci-fi mythos, eh? Also, we've got a few live reveal shots from Gawker video goddess Molly to go along with her video above!
As the original story resumes, the new KITT (Knight Industries Three Thousand) is absolutely the coolest car ever created: its supercomputer capable of hacking almost any system; its weapons systems efficient; and its body -- thanks to its creator's work and nanotechnology -- is capable of actually shifting shape and color. Plus, its artificial intelligence makes it the ideal crime-fighting partner: logical, precise and possessing infinite knowledge. It is the ultimate car -- and someone will be willing to do anything to obtain it.
Sarah Graiman is a 24-year old Ph.D candidate at Stanford University, following in her genius father Charles' (Davison) footsteps. But when men attempt to abduct her, Sarah receives a mysterious call from KITT warning her that he's a creation of Charles, who also invented the first KITT 25 years ago -- and that her father is in serious danger.
Sarah and KITT track down her best friend from childhood, Mike Tracer (Bruening), a 23-year-old ex-Army Ranger, whom Sarah hasn't seen since he left home at 18. Having served in Iraq, Mike is now jaded and lost and initially resistant. Eventually he agrees to help Sarah and the two set out
