Dhaka was getting into the nighttime. A warm breeze carried the faint hum of rickshaws and motorbikes weaving through crowded alleys, and streetlights flickered dimly. However, a new sound that was low, mechanical, and potent emerged amid this urban pulsation. The empty bypass road was traversed by a black vehicle like a shadow. The Knight Industries Two Thousand, a self-aware, AI-driven supercar, was more than just a machine. Michael Knight, an agent for FLAG (Foundation for Law and Government), its iconic driver, was seated inside.

Michael had been secretly taken to Bangladesh. A South Asian black market syndicate was rumored to be selling a stolen AI navigation module that was powerful enough to make machines like KITT. There was no time to waste. Global security may be at risk if the technology is misused.

Even after sunset, Dhaka's streets were bustling. The smell of grilled food filled the air as neon signs flashed above tea stalls on the side of the road. In stealth mode, KITT moved effortlessly through the commotion.

Michael, "an unauthorized encrypted signal has just activated in the Gulshan district," KITT said in a calm and deliberate voice. It matches FLAG's frequency of stolen technology.

Michael extended his head. "That's where we lead. Let's get going.

KITT arrived in a posh but suspiciously quiet neighborhood in a matter of minutes. Guards were stationed outside of a large, dimly lit house with its covered windows. KITT used its thermal vision to look inside the building. Under duress, a foreign scientist was working on a console, his face pale from fear.

KITT confirmed, "They are extracting data from the stolen module." "Transmission in progress, completed at 62%."

“We stop them now,” Michael said.

“KITT—diversion!” He yelled. The side panels of KITT lit up in an instant. A high-pitched sound was sounded from its undercarriage by a sound emitter, causing the guards to become disoriented.

Michael took advantage of the opportunity to precisely disable them. He entered the room, defeated the handler, and set the scientist free.

They rushed back to KITT, which immediately opened its doors.

Michael told KITT to "hold on" as she emerged onto the main road. A group of black SUVs pursued. Before launching into turbo boost mode, KITT accelerated and swerved through narrow lanes before soaring above a railway crossing as a freight train thundered by below. The SUVs came to a stop, defeated. But there was something off. Michael, KITT stated, "A reverse-access attempt was made while interfacing with the stolen module." Someone attempted to hack me. Michael appeared astonished. "Where exactly?" "Relative source. IP was tracked to a campus of a university.

A more complex mystery had begun. They followed the digital trail the following day to Dhaka University, where they discovered a small student-run AI lab. Rayhan, a 21-year-old bright-eyed, curious, and obsessed with intelligent machines, was one of them.

Rayhan initially denied involvement. But eventually, out of curiosity rather than theft, he admitted. He stated, "I detected a foreign AI signal last night." "It...was alive. Thinking. It was unlike anything I had ever seen. I simply wanted to check out how it worked. Michael raised his arms in a cross-fade to say, "You tried to hack a sentient car."

"That could have gone wrong." Rayhan gave a humble nod. I didn't mean to hurt you. I intend to construct something similar to KITT for Bangladesh. We have the talent, but we lack support. KITT and Michael exchanged glances. Rayhan's previous self-built projects, including miniature smart cars, drone security systems, and AI voice interfaces, were inspected by KITT.

A more complex mystery had begun. They followed the digital trail the following day to Dhaka University, where they discovered a small student-run AI lab. A young man by the name of "He's got potential," KITT said, was one of them. Michael paused for reflection.

“How would you like to be a part of a global program for the development of AI? You will have legal access to real technology and training. Rayhan's eyes sparkled. “Seriously?

That is my ideal scenario. KITT opened a side compartment, revealing a sleek device. Our training servers are connected to this portable simulator. Use it prudently." Rayhan's hands shook with excitement as he held the device. Michael and KITT drove off into the horizon later that evening as the city lights began to flicker once more and traffic resumed its usual pace. Michael stated, "This country is full of energy." "Feels good to leave something hopeful behind." KITT replied, "Yes, indeed."

"Sometimes the most important missions are more than just preventing crime. They aim to motivate intelligent individuals." Over Dhaka, the stars twinkled. The night of retribution had passed. In addition, a young inventor began to envision something a little bit larger somewhere in the city. as a result of the Night Rider's mission to awaken the future as well as to protect it.
