The Suitcase You Can't Lose
Russian inventors have finally solved the problem of the heavy, unwieldy suitcase. They have produced the first smart suitcase that will follow the owner through the airport. (They're still working on the photo of it.)
The tech geeks at Robotronic have been more into robotic dogs and dinosaurs in the past, but have finally put their minds to something useful. The $2,000 suitcase, due to come on the market late next year, uses a gyroscope, light detectors, ultrasound and infrared sensors to make its way around obstacles and can follow you around for up to two hours.
If this were a really smart suitcase, it would follow its owner onto the plane rather than getting itself stowed in the baggage hold--especially if it's a British Airways flight, the only airline with the ability to lose 358,000 bags in three months.
