A former Apple engineer named Xiaolang Zhang accused of stealing trade secrets about Apple’s secretive car division has pled guilty in a U.S. federal court.
Apple's bid to create its own self-driving car has been a long and bumpy journey, and the company is likely still years away from bringing one to market.
It is possible that the job opening has something to do with the long-rumoured Apple Car, but the company has more going on in the automotive space as well.
"Despite all the recent staff departures from the project, I’m still led to believe that development of a vehicle is moving forward," said the analyst.
