Potential security and performance issues in using automatic WiFi Sense?

So if I understand this correctly, this feature detects open networks and automatically connects to them when you wander into their zone.

Do these open networks have to be "on the bing map" to be auto-connected? What happens when nothing is in range? Does it try to connect to all open networks it sees, and then upload it to Bing if successful? Does this process use up battery?

So if it connects to a personal router that happens to be open (whether or not someone uploaded it to Bing), what are the potential security issues?
