Listening to: Come Talk To Me - Peter Gabriel

Had an odd thought today, one that was arguably publishable. I wonder if you could use the Segway platform as a luggage trolley? Instead of having a place to stand it would have a luggage basket. You could carry a little transmitter (or a tether) and the thing could follow you ’round the airport (fido luggage style). It would also be able to follow you up escalators and what not… Given my experience with Rods Segway the motor system reacts fast enough that it could follow you quite closely without bumping into you.

Someone must be doing it (’specially if they’re pitching it against golf carts.).
