前苹果工程师被控盗窃自动驾驶相关技术

A federal court has charged a former Apple engineer with stealing trade secrets related to a self-driving car and attempting to flee to China.

Agents in San Jose, California, arrested Xiaolang Zhang on Saturday, moments before he was to board his flight.

Zhang is said to have taken paternity leave in April, traveling to China just after the birth of a child.

When he returned, he informed his supervisors he was leaving Apple to join Xiaopeng Motors, a Chinese company in Guangzhao, which also plans to build self-driving cars.

But security cameras caught Zhang allegedly entering Apple's self-driving car lab and downloading blueprints and other information on a personal computer at the time he was supposed to be in China on paternity leave.

Neither the FBI nor Zhang's lawyers have commented.美国一家联邦法院起诉一名前苹果公司工程师偷窃与自动驾驶相关的商业机密，并企图逃往中国。

加州圣荷西市的执法人员星期六在张晓浪即将登机前往中国时将他逮捕。

张晓浪据说在他孩子出生后今年4月到中国请陪产假。回到美国后，他对上司说他将辞职到位于广州的小鹏汽车公司工作。这家公司也计划制造自动驾驶汽车。

但是在张晓浪本应在中国休产假期间，监控摄像头却拍到他进入苹果公司自动驾驶汽车实验室将设计蓝图和其他资料下载到自己的个人电脑上。

美国联邦调查局和张晓浪的律师都还没有发表评论。
