Emily Forlini and Jennifer Pattison Tuohy are taking the reins of this week’s episode! Does a robot vacuum really need an arm to help keep your home floors clean? Inside the chaotic struggle to keep Fisker EVs maintain connectivity. A wireless way to charge your low-powered smart devices. And insight into Sam Altman’s company, OpenAI, acquiring Jony Ive’s AI startup company, io.
• Jennifer shares her thoughts on Roborock’s Saros Z70 Robot Vacuum after testing it out for some time.
• Emily talks about an association formed by Fisker owners following the company’s bankruptcy and how it collapsed following disputes over costs and a botched software upgrade with American Lease.
• Jennifer also had the opportunity to use a new wireless power system from Wi-Charge, which uses infrared lasers to charge low-powered devices, such as smart locks, wirelessly.
• And Lauren Goode, Senior Correspondent of WIRED, joins Emily to discuss Sam Altman and Jony Ive’s partnership to create AI hardware following OpenAI’s acquisition of Jony Ive’s io company.
