Ah, it is to dream. The coolest, Jetsons-style futurism seen today is courtesy architect and designer Peter Yeardon who has envisioned the terrific and yet terribly unlikely product Fido Luggage, still in prototype stage.
Fido uses motion robotics and voice recognition technology to actually FOLLOW YOU through a concourse using programmable voice commands, including laser sensors that will keep it from crashing into passing travellers and to recognize and navigate uneven terrain. But for all of Fido Luggage's utter brilliance in conception, even if it reaches the mass market stage it will, most likely, be banned from airports as autonomous, motorized luggage could create a security nightmare straight out of the dystopian future visions of Ray Bradbury or William Gibson. Best of luck, Pete! We're Jetsons fans all the way and would like to have Fido on hand in the near future.
