Uber Technologies, Inc. — AI supply-chain exposure
The model reads Uber Technologies, Inc. primarily as a supplier in Models. Its most binding exposure is Inference serving (system bottleneck #4), which it consumes rather than makes — a price-taking dependency. Its largest modeled sensitivity is a shock at Inference serving (constraint β 41).

Uber is a global mobility platform whose core product is matching riders and drivers, priced and dispatched in real time by internal machine-learning systems. Its forward bet is to become the demand aggregator for autonomous vehicles — the app that fills robotaxi seats — through partnerships with Waymo, WeRide, Pony AI and Wayve rather than building the self-driving stack itself.
Its chain exposure is inference serving: Uber runs models constantly to match, route and price, and its autonomy strategy is deliberately asset-light, owning the marketplace and the demand while others own the vehicles and the driving intelligence. That positions it as an application-layer integrator — structurally peripheral to the compute chain but potentially central to how autonomy reaches consumers, capturing the customer relationship even as the hard AI is supplied by its partners.
