Factual error: Realistically, there is no way someone can be thrown straight up from the driver's seat of a Pontiac Trans-Am, even with T-tops. Whoever was being shot straight up would probably break their legs on the crossbar that's adjacent to the windshield.
Knight Rider (1982)
1 factual error in show generally - chronological order
Knight Rider [Pilot; a.k.a. Knight of the Phoenix] (1) - S1-E1
Revealing mistake: When KITT takes part in the race and goes up on two wheels, you can see that the stunt driver is behind the wheel and that a dummy is strapped into the passenger's seat.
Michael Knight: I need ya buddy.
KITT: Right away Michael.
Trivia: Even though William Daniels provided the voice of "K.I.T.T.", he was uncredited throughout the whole series.

Answer: I would say that unless there's visual evidence it was another K.I.T.T. car, as in you could see the bar scanner or cut steering wheel, people on here would correct the mistake by saying more than one 1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am was sold and there's no reason it's meant to be a random car.
