Not quite Tesla related, but is Semi-Autonomous, My "Smart" Autonomous Suitcase.
First off, despite what's out there, yes, these do exist. Why do I say that? These were initially sold on an Indiegogo Campaign. Unfortunately, as MOST Indiegogo Campaigns end up, the vast large majority of backers got screwed. The company shipped a few dozen out of many thousands of orders, just enough to get people to say they are real, and it's coming, to hold over the backers, while the Campaign runners, well, run off with your money.

I was one of the lucky few to get one, mostly because I had it shipped to my In-Laws in China to avoid the import duty (MIL was going to use it when she came to visit, so it wasn't like she was bringing anything extra or going out of her way).
The suitcase arrived in November 2019. My mother in law's flight was booked for beginning of March. Well, we all know what happened End of 2019-2020..... I'm not even going to say it.... Her flight was canceled 4 days before departure. Then her next flight, and next flight, and next flight, and next flight again, all canceled. Finally, April 2023, 3 years later, she was able to bring it. Thankfully they were able to keep the battery charged, and it appears to held up in storage well. I had them keep it at about 70% and plug it in every 2-3 months for about 10 minutes, which sufficed.
So, FINALLY, I'm able to try my purchase. Thankfully, these are still available, though at 3x what I paid, on Alibaba. As such, surprisingly the APP was still available. Though the app worked one time and that was it. The remote control does work. Surprised it has no reverse. The control has it, but the suit case can only do left, right or forward.
So sit back and watch me play with it a bit while the car is supercharging. I have another video coming where I am riding it through Chicago's O'Hare Airport.
