WASHINGTON - The US Justice Department said on Tuesday it has charged a former Apple Inc engineer with attempting to steal the firm’s technology related to autonomous systems, including self-driving cars, and then fleeing to China.
The engineer, identified by the Justice Department as 35-year-old Weibao Wang, in 2017 accepted a US-based job with a Chinese company working to develop self-driving cars before resigning from Apple, officials said. The fifth case involved a Chinese network created to provide Iran with materials used in weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles.
Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, the department’s No. 2 official, said in February that the new group was a joint effort with the US Commerce Department to safeguard American technology from foreign adversaries and other national security threats. Monaco said at the time that the United States would “strike back against adversaries trying to siphon off our most advanced technology, and to attack tomorrow’s national security threats today.
