Just another modern corporate scam I'm afraid, UK Public funding plus whatever it can get from idiots in the crowdfunding swindle, will end up getting a couple of prototypes up and running and a very good income for a few chancers untill reality dawns on the investors that backed a load of bollox.

A local example, that was never going to succeed.
