In 2000, there was a popular automotive-themed Japanese
Anime series called "
éX-Driver" There were six (25 minute) episodes and a full length movie. The series depicts a future world in which all vehicles are AI cars and trucks that drive themselves with humans as passive passengers. But occasionally a vehicle goes haywire or someone reprograms a car--then the
Ex-Drivers go into action. Of course, the only cars that can be used to rescue the automotive passengers are classics from the bygone pre-ECU analog era of the automobile. The éX-Driver's cars of choice are a
Lotus Twin Cam Special, a
Caterham 7, a
Lancia Stratos (replacing a
Subaru STI), and a
Ducati 900 SS. As with most
Anime, the details are amazing. I posted a link with all six episodes back-to-back and dubbed in English.
