A second Apple engineer has been arrested by the Feds for allegedly stealing copies of the tech giant's self-driving car blueprints.
Jizhong Chen was hired in the US as an electrical engineer in June 2018 for Cupertino's secretive autonomous vehicle project – which Apple has still yet to publicly acknowledge – when he was spotted taking pictures of his workspace. Apple security bods swooped, and allegedly found that Chen had downloaded an entire copy of his work hard drive onto a personal drive as well as taken thousands of photos of the biz's robo-car technology.
