Design entrepreneurs, take note: We’ve seen enough “smart luggage” designs that fatigue has set in, but here’s a reminder that the category is apparently very lucrative:

The GPS looks like it would come in handy in an emergency, but all of the charging stuff seems a bit extraneous to us, or at least prone to being obsolete. I myself prefer to travel with an external battery that can be carried in any bag.
