Uber's earnings call disclosed that the volume of orders placed by AI agents is extremely low, with only four ride requests recorded during the busiest week of October.

AI Brief

At its third-quarter earnings call, Uber stated that only four ride requests were placed by AI agents during the busiest week of October—the Halloween week. Uber Eats also saw just 500 orders from AI agents, compared to a total platform order volume of roughly 320 million for the same period.
