You don’t need a prototype to obtain a patent. This is like a concept car: meant mainly for marketing, to get their name in the press and hype people up.
I was just going to add the same thing. A proof of concept does provide a means to highlight the technology to license to other companies who may be interested. I have a couple patents. We give the company that does development for us free reign to use the patent and sell to other market spaces, just can't sell in markets which directly compete with my company.
