A former Apple engineer has been hit with federal trade secrets theft charges after trying to lift Cupertino's car tech on behalf of Alibaba.
The California Northern District Court will hear the case (PDF) of Xiaoling Zhang, an engineer who in 2015 was hired to work on the Cupertino music seller's ultra-secretive self-driving car project. He was designing and testing circuit boards before leaving in April of this year to join an Alibaba and Foxconn-backed Chinese startup called Xiaopeng Motors.
