This would have to be the most profound part of it

Uber is unlikely to be the applicant for the airworthiness certificate that permits an aircraft to take to the air, meaning pilots could be responsible for safety and maintenance of the helicopters, just as drivers in the Uber network operate now.
Reality is that CASA will not allow that in regard to commercial operations. So what's the Plan B?

"Further notes made the point that Australia's air safety regulator CASA "is known for being bold in welcoming new aircraft and systems".
Probably buttering them up in the push for a AOC Dispensation.
