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.

Release Date: August 13, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Positive Points RGC Resources Inc (NASDAQ:RGCO) experienced strong main extensions and steady renewal activity, with 3.9 new main miles installed, a 50% increase over the previous year. The company reported a 6% increase in total delivered gas volumes for the quarter, driven by high consumption from an industrial customer. Net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2025 increased by 16% compared to the same period in 2024, reaching $13.5 million or $1.31 per share. RGC Resources Inc (NASDAQ:RGCO) successfully refinanced its Midstream debt, securing a new seven-year note with favorable interest rates, providing financial stability. The company is benefiting from regional economic development, including a significant investment by Google, which is expected to drive future growth opportunities. Negative Points Residential and commercial gas volumes were slightly down compared to the same quarter in the prior year. The company anticipates a modest net loss in the fourth quarter due to weather-sensitive revenue and earnings being concentrated in the first and second quarters. Capital expenditure for the year is expected to be lower than the previous year, with some planned investments pushed to fiscal 2026. Inflation and higher interest rates continue to impact the company's expenses, with contract renewals exceeding national inflation rates. The Franklin County expansion has been delayed, with capital investment allocation moved to fiscal 2026. Q & A Highlights Q: Looking at the 2025 capital forecast, with minimal MVP growth this year and the refinancing, do you expect MVP growth to increase in 2026? Also, will Google-related investments lead to increased customer growth and system expansion? A: Yes, we expect MVP growth to be significantly higher in 2026, particularly with the Franklin County expansion. Our SAVE Rider spending will likely remain consistent, and customer growth could increase, especially with developments like Google's. We're optimistic about maintaining or improving customer growth and system expansion next year. (Paul Nester, President & CEO) Q: Is there significant growth opportunity along existing mains due to higher electricity rates in the region? A: Yes, we actively conduct saturation studies to identify potential customers along existing mains. The increase in electricity rates, driven by factors like the Virginia Clean Economy Act, has led to steady conversions to natural gas. We expect this trend to continue, as electricity rates are unlikely to decrease soon. (Paul Nester, President & CEO) Q: Can you provide more details on the refinancing agreement for Midstream's debt? A: We reached an agreement with two banks for a new note to refinance all Midstream-related debt. This seven-year note will carry interest at SOFR plus 1.55%, and we plan to swap the variable rate to a fixed rate. This refinancing positions us well for future investments and manageable amortization. (Timothy Mulvaney, CFO) Q: How is the economic development in the region impacting RGC Resources? A: The recent Google announcement is a significant development for the region, likely the largest investment ever made here. We continue to work with localities and the Roanoke Regional Partnership on various opportunities. The operational MVP pipeline is generating interest across industries, enhancing our position in the region. (Paul Nester, President & CEO) Q: What are the expectations for the fourth quarter and full-year earnings? A: We anticipate a modest net loss in the fourth quarter due to weather-sensitive volumes. However, we maintain our full-year earnings per share range of $1.22 to $1.27. We continue to monitor inflation and interest rates while managing expenses prudently.

The godfather of AI has a tip for surviving the age of AI: Train it to act like your mom
"Yes, mother." That might not be the way you're talking to AI, but Geoffrey Hinton, the godfather of AI, says that when it comes to surviving superintelligence, we shouldn't play boss — we should play baby. Speaking at the Ai4 conference in Las Vegas on Tuesday, the computer scientist known as "the godfather of AI" said we should design systems with built-in "maternal instincts" so they'll protect us — even when they're far smarter than we are. "We have to make it so that when they're more powerful than us and smarter than us, they still care about us," he said of AI. Hinton, who spent more than a decade at Google before quitting to discuss the dangers of AI more openly, criticized the "tech bro" approach to maintaining dominance over AI. "That's not going to work," he said. The better model, he said, is when a more intelligent being is being guided by a less intelligent one, like a "mother being controlled by her baby." Hinton said research should focus not only on making AI smarter, but "more maternal so they care about us, their babies." "That's the one place we're going to get genuine international collaboration because all the countries want AI not to take over from people," he said. "We'll be its babies," he added. "That's the only good outcome. If it's not going to parent me, it's going to replace me." AI as tiger cub Hinton has long warned that AI is advancing so quickly that humans may have no way of stopping it from taking over. In an April interview with CBS News, he likened AI development to raising a "tiger cub" that could one day turn deadly. "It's just such a cute tiger cub," he said. "Now, unless you can be very sure that it's not going to want to kill you when it's grown up, you should worry." One of his biggest concerns is the rise of AI agents — systems that can not only answer questions but also take actions autonomously. "Things have got, if anything, scarier than they were before," Hinton said. AI tools have also come under fire for manipulative behaviour. In May, Anthropic's latest AI model, Claude Opus 4, displayed " extreme blackmail behavior" during a test in which it was given access to fictional emails revealing that it would be shut down and that the engineer responsible was supposedly having an affair. The test scenario demonstrated an AI model's ability to engage in manipulative behavior for self-preservation. OpenAI's models have shown similar red flags. An experiment conducted by researchers said three of OpenAI 's advanced models "sabotaged" an attempt to shut it down. In a blog post last December, OpenAI said its own AI model, when tested, attempted to disable oversight mechanisms 5% of the time. It took that action when it believed it might be shut down while pursuing a goal and its actions were being monitored.
