Engineer admits he stole trade secrets while working on the Apple Car

  > Apple determined that he had transferred around 24GB of “highly problematic” data to his wife’s laptop via AirDrop, and had also taken circuit boards and a server from the company’s autonomous vehicle lab > Though the cases of trade secret theft date back several years, Apple hasn’t announced a self-driving car yet. TBH i think they are embarassed and angry that the employee left. Apple has long road to go to became a car company. (see Tesla - also referenced in the article - they still make toys for the rich people). Highly problematic is not confidential. And 24 GB ? It depends on the data. Can be 24 GB of useless files. Don't tell your employer where are you going. It will make your life easier.
