Uber's former mission statement:

> "Transportation as reliable as running water, everywhere for everyone"

Sounds like transportation is their core business to me.



A mission statement is not a product or service offering. Google doesn’t sell “the world’s information”, for example.


Sure it does, it just doesn't sell it to you. You are not the purchaser of the information, you are providing the information that's being sold.


Google does not sell information to anyone. Please don't spread outright falsehoods.


> Google doesn’t sell “the world’s information”

No, it exchanges it for attention, which it sells, but an exchange of the world's information for other valuable commodities is key to it's business model.
