Especially with modern vacuums that also have a camera and a mic on them. Probably the most intrusive device you can buy for your house.

Yeah exactly. I wouldn't want a machine that knows the exact layout, size of my home and tracks what happens inside it. like think about it, if 4 out of 20 houses in a area has a robo vac won't they get very detailed idea of how economy is split and sell this data? based on house sizes and distribution of space. and obv there is no limit to what they can do with cameras and mics
