It's a $500,000 dollar research grant, I assume the military gives out a lot of these and almost none make press releases. Uber has talked about flying cars before, so that's the experience answer.
I also talked about flying cars before, how is that "experience"?
Do you have people on staff working on building flying cars? If so you too can probably match the government for $500,000 and research the topic.
Does Uber? They sure talk about things a lot and yet, there is very little - if any - proof of them doing actual work on "flying cars".
I'm inclined to agree with other comments that this is mostly a PR stunt for Uber.
