‘The Hop’ Takes Suitcases Hands-Free: Pass or Fail?

Convenience is a huge factor when it comes to making our lives easier, and it seems as if almost everything is being offered with a hands-free option these days. Now, for those who are tired of dragging a heavy piece of luggage through the airport, a new hands-free suitcase is just for you!

Meet “The Hop”. It’s named after bellhops, people who are hired — often by hotels — to carry guests’ luggage, according to Hop’s official website.

The Hop was designed by Rodrigo Garcia Gonzalez, a Spanish design student. Using Bluetooth technology, the Hop closely follows its owner by using the signal from the owner’s smartphone.

Now here’s the kicker. If Hop gets lost, it sends a signal to the smartphone and it locks itself to prevent theft of the articles inside.

But don’t get too excited, the new luggage is not available for purchase yet.
