Piaggio’s intelligent mobile luggage (!)

It’s only a concept, it’s being put forward by people who usually make scooters and own Aprilia and it’s got a degree of artificial intelligence. This is the KILO (three wheel) and GITA (two wheel) project from Piaggio.

These mobile suitcases know where they are in the real world thanks to a plethora of sensors constantly monitoring their surroundings. The system can also follow a person if that person is wearing a belt that’s also loaded with sensors which relay movement information back to the ball-on-wheels.

There’s nothing about price or when these might actually appear, it’s just an idea and all that – but given that this is a spacial-aware intelligent bit of tech, how long before what’s tested here finds some of its way onto things with two wheels?
