Yes! When I was interviewing at Uber in 2014, I wasn't truly interested until my interviewer mentioned that Uber reduces the drunk driving rate after it launches in a city[1].
(Later on, other studies[2] have cast doubt on the earlier findings, but from a mission perspective, I found that the employees really care about the drunk driving problem, and are proud to work on a product that can reduce the rate of drunk driving.)
