Uber Says Only Four Rides Came From AI Agents Last Quarter
Uber executives said on an earnings call that only four rides were arranged by third-party AI agents in the third quarter of 2026. Uber Eats orders placed through AI agents were a little higher, but the numbers are still small. The figures suggest AI assistants are not yet a major way people book rides.
