It’s a thing to watch, but what should be made clear is that these people were staff who got the test version of the upcoming model of the vacuum cleaner and signed a waiver to share this data with the company. Of course the company did a poor job protecting the data.
In addition to those precautions, I read that there was also a BIG warning label on the vacuum saying it could be recording video.
These breathless articles make it seem like every autonomous vacuum in the world is doing this.
