If you go through the trouble to make motorized luggage, why not make it rideable?
BklynPunisher
I think there are some that you can ride. Pretty sure iv'e seen it somewhere. Not sure how much room is left for clothes though.

Needs more legs.

I often don’t know where my luggage is, that's what being a tourist is all about.

Airlines are already banning these and the ones with chargers in them. They're afraid of the lithium batteries.
n1ckbr0dy
So this bag isn't going to take-off?
milad666
The ones with batteries are carry on only and are not banned at all. You can’t check lithium but you can carry on no problem.

I think it follows her cell phone bluetooth signal.

I think you missed the point, there
goatmug2
Wouldnt that only work if bluetooth were directional?
Daphault1
I work with some Bluetooth systems that can locate beacons within a couple inches
vogelstroika
I don't think it has to be directional. It could measure signal strength, but I don't know ow enough about BT precision
mwoodman
It's really more about triangulation.

Good luck, buddy.
HarryDresdenIsMySpiritAnimal
I would totally start running around screaming and looking at the luggage in panic.
UnicornsAndShenanigans
I was wanting and waiting for that the entire time.
cousteau
I'll be honest; I was disappointed that she never did that.
Qecbum
Does this count as leaving your luggage unattended. Like it is not in her sight at all. Also try explaining the electronics at security.
Smigions
Does it bother anyone else that she left the handle up??
AmyBethMegJo
Yes. Would have been cooler with it down.
cousteau
It probably acts as an antenna, like the one old phones used to have.
Counterfit
Most of those were placebos
DotNull
You shut your mouth.
cousteau
B-but the antenna!
batlrar
Where else would she attach the thread?
owlest
you ever heard of an antenna?
Smigions
Not sense the 90s. And at the range why would it need one.

Nuclearun
gonna put this out there: does anyone know of a Sci-fi Novel with one of the main characters who has a set of these? They are almost AI, 1/?
Nuclearun
One of them hands her a gun right as she needs it... there was a lot of Biomech too. Someone had a gun *under* their fingernail (I think)2/?
Nuclearun
I think there was a giant alien ship, but in the atmosphere of a planet... memories are vague. Reminds me of the writing of Alstair Reynolds
Nuclearun
or, if anyone can suggest where I should go instead, so I can ask this question.
dontyoudarelookatme
Google...just type exactly that into google youd probably find something
Nuclearun
tried it, no really good results/
buddhafw
And airlines are already bannng them because of the lihium ion batteries in them.
gameskilledvideostar
Only if you can't remove the battery before checking the luggage and put it in your carry-on. (You know, and not Samsung.)
demolitionlover09
I’ve brought several rather large lithium ion batteries on an airplane before, I’m confused
OriginalSyn
Many airlines forbid large batteries in your checked luggage
TheSneakySloth
That's cool until they don't let you on the plane with a battery that big.
kidfropro
I'ts powered by hamsters.
ChalupaBatmanMcArthur
Battery? You mean the fishing wire attached to her upper left leg. Every time her left leg swings it moves
TheSneakySloth
Which is also suspicious!
GoliathSkittles
Not even close to being in sync.
Alvatore
Incorrect. This is Smart Luggage, and it's powered by a Lithion-Ion battery. It also has a GPS beacon installed.
Satou44
Not even funny
forsythfd922
You can see another tire in the middle of the suitcase bottom. A pair or more would make it steerable.
Ilnor
I tried to believe you, You are wrong
ath1337e
Definitely robotics involved here. It always stops short of her legs, and is not in sync with her steps. Either camera+object recognition...
ath1337e
is at work for the suitcase to know where to go, or it's traveling towards a transmitter that gives her location.
ath1337e
Probably. There may be other possibilities.

Suitcase: Excuse me. No, no. Down here. Have you seen a man who's lost his luggage, about 5 foot 10, mousy hair?
Loribob
That's what I was thinking of while watching the video ha ha love red dwarf!
MrAwful
Refren?

Red dwarf!

No I havn't!

My mom had a laptop (in bag) stolen right under her nose at Sky Harbor last year. She said she was distracted by an accomplice.

PLEASE tell me it makes R2-noises as it follows you.

Or BB-8 sounds! I'd be all over that!

I cant believe it doesnt look like R2, its the only thing i could think of watching this.

ALWAYSSHOUTING
I HAVE BEEN MEANING TO START THIS SERIES. DOES IT MATTER WHICH ONE, OR IS THERE A RECOMMENDED 1ST BOOK?
AngryValkyrie
Do it! Read them! Read them all!
motherfuckinghowl
Just dive in mate, theres seperate series like the witches and vimes so pick one and start from the first of that series
LaVikinga
I'd read in order of them being written. The quality builds & you'll learn about the characters naturally. I'm a Sam Vimes & The Watch fan.
AdmJota
Personally, I'd start at the beginning (_The Colour of Magic_) and go from there; it really lets you see everything develop over time.
Bunsen
https://imgur.com/dwjhVd5 The Colo(u)r of Magic was the first, but personally I'm more partial to the Watch and Death threads.
Zupaniccarr
Holy hell I've been reading these and I needed this, thanks.
castaway195
Read the first two, they set up the world, and the light fantastic(book 2) is one of my faves
circuitous
That reading list proved invaluable when I started with Discworld, bless.
HauldrenCollider
start with the color of magic
TheOneandTheOnlyStimpyCat
Yes!

Needs 50 feet.

«Pratchett has stated […] that the Luggage was created from the time he watched a woman's suitcase wobbling across the tiles of an airport.»
RightTurnClyde
Well. Most of us have some baggage that follows us around..
gernjer
All I see is the lady standing still on the moving walkway. Never stand still on the moving walkway.
CapProminent
Some of us even go so far as naming and raising them.

well atleast she's not carrying it around...

Looks like a good way to get your stuff stolen.
PmMeGifsForSauce
not if you keep an eye out. People that want to steal won't care if you're holding it or it's following you.
NovaleeMarie
That was my first thought.
HandsomeFox1
A few of airlines in North America won't even allow them on the plane because they have a battery that has a chance to explode
pancreas
This is probably in Korea or Japan where they don't have as many cunts as we do in the rest of the world.
lazidog
just put it on a leash, could still have free hands and enough slack to let it drive itself around but you're still attached to it
RideTheStimutacs
And to get slapped with a lawsuit when it smashes into some little kid.
SomethingsNotQuiteRight
America?
auscaliber
I mean if it loudly beeps if it detects its being stolen, is that any less effective than one hand casually dragging it?
cuntney
Or get hit in the achilles
ff36
Especially attractive when your stuff is wrapped in an expensive self driving case
juansaltysnail
Mfw some thief just quick-hands it and I look back to see no luggage.
ensoul
I really want to see it go shooting off the top of an escalator and knock out 6 people
briarios3000
It will just come back to you later.
someguy7734206
I just hope that it also has the ability to turn into an armed mech to fight off anyone trying to steal or rob it.
EmotionallyTransparent
I work at an airport and I cant tell you how often bags get damaged. This will be a very short investment for most people.
roejengz
Yes, we all know this. Maybe if the bags were just handled with more care...just a thought
EmotionallyTransparent
I agree. But that would require no one checks in super heavy bags and everyone being ok with the extra waiting that would cause.

If technology gets to that stage, I'm sure it's gonna have certain alarm sound comes off when someone else take it, like female orgasm sound
AmyBethMegJo
And a great way to get a flat tire.
basicwhitelich
Maybe it screeches autisticilly if it senses someone trying to snatch it
Hoparistic
First thought
bamcockseverywhere
Comes with "Free shit in this suitcase" sign for those busy concourses
tortillaboy
First, second and third
zadel99
Make that a fourth too
clevecavs
Same. Yikes
JudgementalMan
If someone wanted to steal your luggage in the airport, your grip isn't stopping them.
Scrubbeh
Yoink.
auscaliber
Ah, if only that petite woman had one hand casually pulling it along, no one could possibly steal it then
DidItForScience
Joke's on them. Nothing fits in that bag except for the battery, motor, control systems and a box a tampons.
DownVoteForWhat
Alarm programed to go off when more than 15 feet from user. No way they didn't think of this or even something better, like built in taser.
CaliZach
I am also curious how easy hijacking/imitating the guiding signal is.
CaliZach
Gotta be careful with this, last thing you want is the equivalent of a car alarm everyone ignores
PolarChi
But how does it work??!!??!
NotTheBeees
Maybe the suitcase defends itself against theives...

In this case the fishing wore yanking your leg would be a good indication

Ive seen ones for sale that synced to your phone and followed the signal automatically
