"The US government has filed charges of theft
of trade secrets against a former member of Apple's self-driving car
team, according to MacRumors.
The
former employee, Xiaolang Zhang, was arrested Saturday in San Jose,
California, while attempting to fly to China and was questioned by the
FBI regarding the alleged theft of Apple's intellectual property.
According to a criminal complaint filed Monday in federal court, Zhang
confessed to the theft. Zhang could face up to 10 years in prison and a
$250,000 fine.
According to the court filing, Zhang was hired in
2015 to work on Apple's self-driving car project designing and testing
circuit boards that would analyze sensor data."
