Knight Rider: Is it possible for Kid to stop safely into the moving truck without risk if it was real life?
Kid would hit the ramp at twice the speed as the truck moves as the ramp is at zero speed?
Answers:
They did it in the Italian Job and Knight Rider and both were before the invention of computer graphics so the cars were actually driven into the trucks.
B.t.w. It's Kit, not Kid
THE CAR IS CALLED KITT MUPPET AND YES IT CAN BE DONE ITS EASY

KITT not Kid.
ouch!
The math says yes. But my head and feelings say NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Don't you mean KIT?
This was done in 'real life' for Knight Rider, with KITT driving up the ramp. Many other films and series' have used it before and since.
So the answer to your question is, yes.
There would not be a problem, because the momentum of the car and the truck would be similar (they are traveling at almost the same speed). The only parts that would have to change speed quickly would be the wheels themselves, and they would not significantly change the overall momentum of the whole car.
It could be done for real quite easily if you are a good enough driver! The car only has to go slightly faster than the truck to get up the ramp! However, once on the ramp i see your point that the car would then be travelling much faster relatively so would have to have some good breaks! But, even if it can't be done for real who cares! Kitt is the coolest car ever!
You can do it, but I'm sure it wouldn't do the car much good.
The wheels would have to go from 60-0mph in a matter of seconds although the car itself is only travelling slightly quicker than the truck.
if the truck is travelling at a similar speed, yes
it's possible to stop a car into a moving truck, but there should be modifications done to the truck and car first. and it will always be risky.
