Roomba walks back plan to sell maps of your house to Amazon and Google

I didn’t buy it myself, but am currently in a household with a 980. Of course I could move. Theoretically speaking, that is.

Just by the way, a serious question: if the Roomba is not uploading the map, how does it arrive in the app? The robot is not in the same network as the control device, here.

Also, see my remarks on the older thread: what about the claims I remember? Airgapped, never leaves the robot, is constructed anew every time the robot runs and not saved? This are quite specific claims, and while I know how awfully memory works, I have my doubts that I invented them. Where the hell did I get this from?
