    I think yes, to your first question. Couldn’t it just crunch the lidardata locally to feed into cartographer, I don’t understand why you don’t understand that this is the issue.

      afaik the lidar data is crunched locally, then sent to the remote server for easy consumption

      when those vacuums are flashed with valetudo, they can still make the map with lidar without internet connection

        Exactly. So it’s pure surreptitious data exfiltration. They only reason they send the data back is because they can, and there is value for them.
