I don't know if the article was edited, but this is what the article now shows at the end:

> Robert Bosch LLC provided travel support for us to attend CES 2020. Bosch Sensortec, responsible for the Smartglasses Light Drive, was not aware of nor involved with the travel support.

So it seems like you are correct. The article could have been much more clear about this though.

I can't prove it but at the time I checked and the OP of this thread had an exact and complete quote of what was on the page.

It has been edited at some point within the last ~2 hours.

It was edited since initial publication.

I don't think the new text changes anything, though. a) If that new text tries to paint the picture that this isn't sponsored content or might have bias, then why did they even mention that disclaimer? b) Which exact legal entity or subsidiary was "officially" sponsoring the trip isn't really that relevant when they are so tightly connected in brand and organizationally.

They could have simply started the article with: "This year Bosch invited us to CES fully covering our attendance cost."

or alternatively later on "while Bosch sponsored our trip we still had a really hard time getting a demo for ... because of ..." (e.g. too many people)

> Bosch Sensortec GmbH is a fully owned subsidiary of Robert Bosch GmbH
