Uber only fulfilled 4 rides from AI agents last quarter
During Uber's Q3 2026 earnings call, executives revealed that third-party AI agents had arranged just four rides on the platform, with around 500 Uber Eats orders fulfilled by AI agents during Halloween week. This low volume contrasts sharply with Uber's overall 320 million rides and deliveries that quarter. The disclosure marks the first time Uber has publicly reported metrics on third-party AI agent activity on its platform, amid rising AI agent launches from companies like Meta's Muse and OpenAI's Dots.
