How is Uber going to handle the credit ride of a thing you explained with crypto payment. Will they have access to your wallet so that they will have to deduct their money whenever you fund that particular wallet?
If they incorporate stable coins as a payment method, it is a big win and not to complicate the adoption.

If there will be anything spectacular in the future, it will be incorporating bitcoin for a man-less drive. If you are driven by an AI, you have to pay with BTC and atleast get two confirmations in the Blockchain before the door will open for you lol. This is to avoid transaction reversibility which is common in fiat.
Maybe they'll have access to my wallet. I gamble on Metawin with my Web3 wallet connected to the website and I love the experience, it's way better than traditional deposit/withdraw systems. With my Web3 wallet, I can deposit and withdraw immediately within seconds. If Uber offers that experience, that will make their service very favorable and lots of people will use crypto.
Btw credit ride can easily be done with crypto payments. As far as I know, Web3 wallets have the possibility of recurring payments. The customer has to authorise Uber to automatically charge them. After the end of the ride, Uber will try to charge you. If they fail to charge you at the moment, then it will be a credit ride and you won't be able to ride anymore if you don't pay the debt.
