Uber was supposed to help traffic. It didn’t. Robotaxis will be even worse

Uber was never supposed to do anything good.
In their beginning, Uber was a special purpose vehicle for Big Tech (=their investors) to perform political changes in all kinds of foreign countries, making them compliant, using methods that the others couldn't use openly.
After their evil head has left, they are just another startup that has become big and fat and brainless.
Could you talk more about this / link things to read about it?
I don't know any comprehensive story.
Maybe their yearly and quarterly financial reports are still online. Look for the war budgets, 10 figure style.
And the news from that time, what they were actually doing and what were they bragging about.
