Knight Rider > K.I.T.T. (and more)
Inanimate Object Characters List | Entry: 64
For the next entry, we got two fictional characters from the franchise Knight Rider. Both of which are technologically advanced automobiles equiped with artificial intelligence.
Thus, factually, they are robotic characters rather than sentient characters, but they sort of have personalities, which qualifies them.
Knight Industries Two Thousand appears in the original TV series Knight Rider, it's sequal and two Knight Rider movies.

TV series: Knight Rider (1982-1986), Team Knight Rider (1997-1998) | Movies: Knight Rider 2000 (1991), Knight Rider 2010 (1994)
