My friend offered to receive me at the railway station. C1 to react to something or someone in a particular way that shows how you feel about it, him, or her: The speech was well/warmly/coldly, etc. received by the conference delegates.
KITT is owned by Knight industries in both the Movie and Television series Knight Rider. David Hasselhof has never owned a KITT!
In fact, the car's AI was so advanced that KITT formed a kind of personality, which is what has endeared the car to millions of auto geeks in a way the Batmobile never could be. But when the show was shelved in 1986, so was KITT.
