Occasionally I see some interesting travel related products being crowd funded that I think you guys might be interested in. We’ve talked about the Tropicfeel travel shoe, the Cleansebot bacteria killing robot, and the AirThrone travel lounger, among others. Here’s a few of the travel related crowd funded projects that I’ve seen.

Today I wanted to talk a bit about the NAUCRATES: Ride-On and Self-Follow Smart Luggage, which bills itself as the world’s 1st Ride-On Smart Luggage with Self-Following Feature and Obstacle Avoidance. It’s currently on Indiegogo and scheduled to expire next Monday (October 21).

Here are a few pictures of the Naucrates smart luggage
My question was on whether this was able to be used as a carryon due to the kerfluffle over smart luggage and battery fires. The FAQ on the site does say that the battery is TSA approved.
