Uber completes just four AI-agent ride bookings in Q3

What happened

AI digest

On 4 November 2026, Uber disclosed for the first time on its third-quarter earnings call that third-party AI agents booked only four rides in the quarter. AI-agent orders on Uber Eats were slightly higher, at about 500 in the week of Halloween, against 320 million total orders on the platform over the same period. CEO Dara Khosrowshahi called the scale "very, very early" and said Uber is open to working with third-party AI companies, but stressed that the direct experience in its own app remains the priority, and that it is developing its own AI tools such as Cart Assistant.
