The Knight Rider is the code name for used by a series of private law enforcement agents on Earth, in the years immediately preceding it's destruction. Like all citizens of Earth, the Knight Riders were humanoid Cylons but had largely forgotten their mechanical origins.
Interestingly they had a unique relationship with a series of motorized Cylon vehicles, which themselves possessed artifical intelligence. Of particular note is the Knight Industry Two Thousand series Cylon which appeared from the outside to be a 1982 Pontiac Trans Am.
There were many other robot cars in this era including a 2008 Ford Mustang, a 1969 Mustang, a motorcycle, an evil semi trailer and an evil 1982 Trans Am. The origin of the vehicles was unmistakeable, as each featured a prominent oscillating red eye scanner, similar to Cylon raiders.
Despite the lack of resurrection technology, the Knight Industry Two Thousand or KITT model of the Cylon automobile returned from the dead a number of times.
A precursor to the deadly Cylon civil war can be seen in the tenuous relationship between automotive A.I.s and most of the humanoid Cylons they encountered. However, some humanoids, notably a woman named Bonnie Barstow, were able to bridge the divide.
If the Cylon nature of the humanoids had been revealed, one imagines that would have made for a amusing episode in the lives of these agents.
