iRobot is planning to sell its Roomba data to third-party companies. The data could help tech companies like Amazon, Apple and Google to improve their smart home speakers. The move has some obvious privacy concerns, but surprisingly, this could help other smart devices at your home to work more efficiently for example: Smart Air-conditioners to control airflow throughout the rooms. Home mapping data could also help Apple’s ARKit developers to create new apps for room management and interior design.
