The revolving door of folks working on Apple’s automotive project continues to turn. Jon Bass, the head of software engineering for the Apple Car, has left Apple to serve as director of technical program management for Meta, per his LinkedIn profile — as noted by AppleInsider.

He worked at Apple from January 2015 to December 2021. He served as the lead engineering program manager, Autonomous Systems. At Meta, he’s the director of technical program management, Mixed Reality Technologies.
