Almost, kind of cool luggage

It seems most new designs lately involve innovation using technology.  This is true with the new luggage design by Rodrigo Garcia.  The design is called hop! and it uses bluetooth signals from the user's phone to sensors in the bag.  The bag literally follows the phone at a short distance so that the user does not have to carry it.  

Now Rodrigo designed this after seeing a kid steal luggage on a bike. Soooo now he has designed a bag that is even easier to steal. Makes sense.

The idea of your material goods following you around is pretty cool, but when it comes to luggage, it doesn't seem very efficient.  First of all, it really is not that hard to roll a wheelie luggage behind you.  Also, what if you have more than one bag, or come to a staircase...

Good concept, just used in the wrong way.
