Why it matters
Companies building AI agents for consumer purchases should note that Uber's figure suggests current usage of such agents for ride booking is very low. Businesses weighing investment in agent-based ordering may want to see more adoption data before assuming strong demand. Watch for whether Uber or other ride-hailing firms publish further usage figures in later quarters.
