I don't understand how you can sell 40 million units and go bankrupt.
Perhaps because the 40 million units rely on an expensive back-end service that isn't covered by monthly fees to users?
what is in between a disc shaped robot vacuum and an android walking around with a broom? there's no obvious path between those two designs. the answer is all the growth iRoomba needed and another $10b.
the problem with disc shaped vacuums is adapting your whole home to make their labor saving make sense. not maps or china or all this other bs.
Roomba has been obsolete for 10 years. Competitors have eaten their lunch in every segment.
