The latest development in a series of unfortunate events: Uber signed off on a new funding round that could total up to $10 billion. That cash infusion, led by Japan’s SoftBank Group and U.S. investment group Dragoneer, would be classified as a war chest to nearly every other company in the world. But to Uber, it’s a sad development in a long wave of painful setbacks.
