No, it has nothing to do with the quantum mechanical UP, but it does help lay persons to understand what we scientists mean, taking a picture of a car (a one time event) can either give the location to a high degree of certainty with no info on the momentum (speed) of the car, or you get the speed rather well determined and lose the info on the precise location of the car.
