Project Knight Driver

Inspired by the 80s series Knight Rider by Glen A. Larson, this story is a sequel narrating a new, original plot with a new main character. (Names were temporarily altered for this contest to avoid naming rights issues.)
Daniel is a former cop leading a simple life in witness protection after his heavily pregnant wife and unborn child were killed in an attack. One day, while climbing in the mountains, he discovers a hidden storage facility. There, he finds the chassis of CAI, an intelligent computerized car, along with servers storing CAI's personality, and unknowingly activates the computer.
After discovering the storage facility, Daniel receives messages from CAI, initially in the form of anonymous text messages, and is visited by Conny, CAI's former mechanic. Shortly thereafter, Daniel becomes the target of further attacks. During one of these attacks, he is shot in the thigh, and a microchip is discovered under his skin, of which he had no prior knowledge.
Daniel suspects that this chip is the reason he is being hunted and begins investigating on his own. CAI and Conny assist him in his efforts. Bonnie successfully transfers CAI's personality back from the servers into the nearly indestructible car. Daniel and Kitt begin working together to uncover the truth behind the chip and the assassination attempts, embarking on a journey to locate the former military doctor who holds crucial information about the chip. However, the villains are still hot on their trail, and Daniel once again finds himself in mortal danger, requiring CAI's rescue.
Throughout the story, the initial computer-hater develops a close friendship with CAI, ultimately defeating his pursuers and bringing the truth about the chip to light.
