Roomba's Next Big Step Is Selling Maps of Your Home to the Highest Bidder
This smells like cheap and irresponsible journalism. For one, the CEO is quoted as saying “There’s an entire ecosystem of things and services that the smart home can deliver once you have a rich map of the home <i>that the user has allowed to be shared.”</i> Further evidence is given in the form of part of the TOS where you essentially agree that if iRobot goes under, the buyer will get all the data. Obviously.<p>That's one blatant ignoring of the CEO's full statement, and one unfounded misinterpretation of the terms of service. Hardly justification for both the title and the premise of the article.
