Arrive AI Inks Deal with Go2 Delivery Setting the Stage for Secure Medication Delivery in Virginia
INDIANAPOLIS, IN / ACCESS Newswire / May 20, 2025 / Arrive AI (NASDAQ:ARAI), an autonomous delivery network anchored by patented AI-powered Arrive Points™, announced today that it is partnering with Go2 Delivery, a Virginia-based carbon-free courier company committed to sustainable practices and the restoration of the local Chesapeake Bay ecosystem, to autonomously deliver specialty pharmacy products using Arrive AI technology.
Go2 Delivery makes pharmacy-related, same-day courier operations for its customers. Go2 Delivery is rolling out Arrive Points in Virginia Beach. Arrive AI and Go2 Delivery have been testing the process for the past several months. Go2 Delivery envisions a day very soon when all high value deliveries will leverage the Arrive AI technology.
'Arrive AI and Go2 Delivery share a vision for a greener delivery future' said Arrive AI CEO Dan O'Toole. 'Our cutting-edge autonomous platform, poised to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of package delivery, is ready to demonstrate tangible benefits in a market already embracing autonomous innovation through this strategic collaboration.'
Go2 Delivery has operated for 28 years from its Virginia Beach headquarters and counts innovation as another of its priorities. CEO Eric Brown said, 'The Arrive AI platform offers a compelling solution for pharmacies that deal with high-risk, high-value medications, each costing up to $30,000. Our partnership with Arrive AI ensures secure delivery, particularly in theft-prone or multi-family environments, directly benefiting patients managing serious health challenges.'
Brown continued, 'Delivering a sensitive drug to the wrong patient doesn't just endanger that person's health, it puts the courier and the pharmacy at risk for violating PHI (private health information) or federal HIPAA privacy laws. For example, a situation in which a neighbor inadvertently received a package meant for an HIV sufferer could prompt HIPAA Fines and lawsuits. The Arrive AI ALM platform's authentication process and its climate-controlled, secure space is a game-changer.'
Brown said delivery errors frequently plague large apartment complexes due to confusing unit numbers, inadequate signage, and similarly named streets. The Arrive AI platform directly addresses these issues by providing secure, individually linked mailboxes. This ensures couriers can make accurate, single-point deliveries, guaranteeing the right recipient receives their package, maintained at the correct temperature.
Beyond delivery, Arrive AI's platform offers a versatile solution. Its proprietary technology enables interaction with Internet of Things (IoT) devices, facilitates alerts and alarms for public safety, acts as a charging station, and provides other vital functionalities. This innovative approach, coupled with Virginia's established leadership in autonomous delivery, positions Arrive AI to showcase its significant benefits in a receptive market.
Brown said he has been interested in adding autonomous delivery to his operation since 2014 when the nation's first legally authorized medication was delivered by drone in rural Virginia.
'The best use-case for drones in the package delivery industry is to get necessary medication to the people who need it, regardless of their location,' Brown said. 'These are exciting times as we get closer to the promise of that delivery back in 2014.'
Virginia has been a hotbed for drone delivery experimentation, primarily in the retail space, with Walmart offering drone deliveries in Virginia Beach, and Christiansburg has offered drone delivery on demand for years via Wing.
'This is a pivotal moment. We are throwing down the gauntlet and commencing a new age for all shippers and deliverers! Mark this date.' O'Toole said.

VeriSign falls after Buffett's Berkshire sells $1.23 billion stock
By Jonathan Stempel (Reuters) -VeriSign shares fell on Tuesday after Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway sold nearly one-third of its stake in the internet infrastructure and domain name registry company for $1.23 billion. Berkshire had been VeriSign's largest shareholder before selling 4.3 million shares at $285 each on Monday, a 6.9% discount to Monday's closing price. Shares of VeriSign fell more than 7% in early trading on Tuesday. The sale reduced Berkshire's ownership stake in the Reston, Virginia-based company to 9.6% from 14.2%. Another 515,032 shares may be sold to meet demand. Berkshire's remaining holdings are subject to a 365-day lock-up agreement. VeriSign said the sale was intended to reduce Berkshire's stake to below 10%, a threshold that triggers regulatory obligations. Berkshire did not respond to a request for comment. Buffett's company began investing in VeriSign in 2012, and prior to the sale owned nearly 13.3 million shares worth about $4.07 billion. VeriSign shares had risen more than six-fold since Berkshire began buying. Berkshire's smaller investments in technology companies have often been spearheaded by Buffett's portfolio managers, Todd Combs and Ted Weschler. Baird Equity Research analyst Rob Oliver, who rates VeriSign "outperform," wrote that the sale "could drive near-term weakness and questions around Berkshire's ultimate intentions with the stock. We continue to view the story as all about domain growth, which is strong and improving." Berkshire ended March with $347.7 billion of cash, and will update that total when it releases second-quarter results on Saturday. Buffett, 94, has run the Omaha, Nebraska-based conglomerate since 1965. Berkshire also owns close to 200 businesses including the BNSF railroad and Geico car insurance, and stocks such as Apple and American Express.

NVIDIA Tech Adds Real World Models To Gatik Autonomous Truck Simulator
Montage of real world scenarios generated by Gatik's Arena simulation platform for use in developing ... More and training autonomous delivery trucks. Autonomous middle-mile delivery trucking company Gatik has incorporated technology from NVIDIA to its next-generation simulation platform, providing more real-life scenarios for truck validation and development at lower cost, the company announced Tuesday. Gatik's next-generation Arena simulation platform includes NVIDIA's Cosmos World Foundation Models, which the company says produces ultra high-fidelity environment simulations in an exponentially higher number than could be generated without Cosmos. To illustrate the dramatic increase, Gatik co-founder and chief engineer Apeksha Kumavat explained that passing 10 miles of data from a customer site in Dallas, Texas through Arena without Cosmos could generate perhaps as many 100,000 miles of additional scenarios. 'As we plug in NVIDIA's Cosmos at the end of it, we are now further able to completely change the location, the geography of where we were actually testing this, for example, those 10 miles from Dallas now can be recreated on a completely different section in Toronto or in in Phoenix,' explained Kumavat, in an interview. 'All of this is high fidelity, really photorealistic simulation. So those 10 miles now have gone into millions of miles with different kinds of weather conditions.' It's an important capability for several reasons, Kumavat says. For one, a greater variety of more realistic scenarios improves and speeds development of the company's autonomous technology. Second, she points out, it eliminates the need for actual on-road testing in scenarios that might be considered too dangerous to create 'in the real world.' Some of the scenarios Arena can generate include: 'NVIDIA Cosmos has been purpose-built to accelerate world model training and accelerate physical AI development for autonomous vehicles,' said Norm Marks, NVIDIA vice president of global automotive, in a statement. 'Our collaboration with Gatik unlocks the development of safe, reliable, ultra-high-fidelity digital environments for robust AV training and validation, and is helping to accelerate the commercialization of Gatik's autonomous trucking solution at scale." Autonomous tech company Gatik and vehicle manufacturer Isuzu will team up to build autonomous ... More commercial trucks that require no on-board human. Grocery store chains Kroger and Loblaws, along with Tyson Foods and Walmart are among the biggest companies using trucks equipped with Gatik's autonomous technology to move goods on so-called middle-mile routes. Development and use of autonomous commercial trucks has picked up speed in the last five years as a way to reduce costs and deal with a driver shortage that's been lingering since before the Covid pandemic took hold in 2020. As of last summer there were more than 78,000 unfilled truck driver positions according to while a report by Ryder System Inc. notes 'industry experts predict that if trends continue, the number of unfilled positions could exceed 170,000 by 2030.' Just last week, Texas door and millwork manufacturer Steve & Sons announced a deal with autonomous tech startup Bot Auto to start running some delivery routes in that state with self-driving trucks. Companies such as Kodiak Robotics, Aurora, Einride and Plus are not only major players in autonomous commercial truck technology, they use a variety of simulation systems to improve performance, capabilities and safety. Gatik's Kumavat is especially excited about this next generation of Arena that includes NVIDIA's Cosmos World Foundation Models, which she enthuses, ' almost makes the gap between simulation and the real world testing, down to zero.'

Warren Buffett Makes Major Sale
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Berkshire Hathaway, the conglomerate led by revered investor Warren Buffett, has sold roughly one-third of its stake in Verisign, a U.S.-based provider of domain name registry services and internet infrastructure. On Monday, Verisign made the announcement that Berkshire will be selling 4.3 million shares on Monday. In a subsequent release, the company said that these would be priced at $285 per share, meaning the transaction will generate over $1.2 billion for Berkshire while reducing its stake from 14.2 to under 10 percent. Why It Matters Berkshire began investing in Verisign in 2012, according to a prospectus submitted by the company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Since that time, the company's stock has risen nearly 700 percent, and Berkshire's sale is being touted as yet another example of its CEO's prescient investment skills. What To Know Verisign is a Virginia-based company best known for operating registries for top-level domains like .com and .net. In its most recent earnings results, the firm reported a 5.9-percent increase in revenue to $410 million in the second quarter. Verisign said that Berkshire may sell a further 515,032 shares—worth roughly $150 million at the $285 price point—and that it will receive no proceeds from the sale. The company added that the transaction is intended to reduce Berkshire's stake to under 10 percent, given this threshold "triggers additional regulatory obligations."

Nati Harnik/AP Photo, File Buffett's company held nearly 13.3 million shares in Verisign as of late March, according to a filing in May with the SEC. Affiliates of Berkshire have been invested in the company since 2012, a year when the stock averaged around $41 and peaked at more than $49. Verisign, which now boasts a market capitalization of $28.6 billion, has since seen its share price rise to close at $305.98 on Monday, meaning the offer price represented a discount of around 7 percent. According to regulatory filings, Berkshire's portfolio comprises a blend including technology companies—primarily Apple—as well as those in the financial services, energy, automotive and food and drink sectors. What People Are Saying Adam Patti, CEO of VistaShares described Berkshire's portfolio as "really well-balanced portfolio chosen" to CNBC in April, and Buffett as "the most successful investor the world has ever seen." What Happens Next? Verisign shares fell sharply in overnight trading following the announcement, but are up nearly 50 percent in the year-to-date. Buffett is set to step down from his role as Berkshire's CEO at the end of the year, and announced that he would be handing over the reins to Greg Abel, vice-chair of non-insurance operations.
