Uber and CMU had a partnership deal where Uber funded faculty chairs and graduate fellowships. Granted, that was only since February. But did CMU expect that Uber would find their research indefinitely and without actual results? Where did they expect that Uber would get their research staff? Again, I know it's not perfectly parallel. But I don't see why it isn't an historical example of something similar. It's also not like all of the other DARPA projects had the same results. (Eg, MIT’s Architecture Machine Group wasn't decimated as a result of DARPA funding for the Aspen Movie Map, no?)
