Actually you are wrong - the horse business has everything to do with it, and not only that, did have everything to do with it (back when horses were actually #7).
If a car company thinks they are in the car business and not the transportation business they will go bankrupt as soon as new technology arrives.
Actually - that pretty much is happening right now. Car companies are selling "the experience" of driving a car, they are selling prestige, and looks. They are not selling transportation (just watch car ads).
That can work fine, and did work fine, until people don't have money for prestige and looks, and just want transportation. And then the company goes under.
