Peachtree Corners Launches Secure Automated Delivery with Arrive AI Partnership
PEACHTREE CORNERS, GA and INDIANAPOLIS, IN / ACCESS Newswire / June 4, 2025 / Peachtree Corners - one of the United States' first smart city environments powered by real-world connected infrastructure and 5G - today announced a groundbreaking partnership with Arrive AI (NASDAQ:ARAI). Arrive AI, a pioneering autonomous delivery network, is joining the city's Curiosity Lab ecosystem with the launch of its autonomous last mile (ALM) solution, anchored by smart mailboxes known as Arrive Points™. This collaboration brings the patented AI-powered devices to the city's Innovation Center, showcasing the next generation of secure, hands-free, climate-assisted package delivery. Arrive AI's delivery unit offers a seamless, 24/7 solution within Curiosity Lab's ecosystem, capable of tracking, verifying and dispensing packages. Crucially, Arrive Points are compatible with autonomous delivery solutions such as drones and ground robots, paving the way for fully automated deliveries. The units also feature integrated video monitoring and advanced heating and cooling capabilities, compensating for rapid temperature shifts of up to 20 degrees Fahrenheit in minutes to keep package contents safe. "As a smart city, we have been able to demo, test and deploy multiple delivery solutions since our inception in 2019, and we are thrilled to advance these efforts with Arrive AI," said City Manager of Peachtree Corners, Brian Johnson. "Autonomous delivery can truly enhance more than convenience; it represents the kind of forward-thinking infrastructure we envisioned when we created Curiosity Lab. By piloting Arrive Points here first, we're giving businesses and residents a real-world look at how secure, climate-controlled, last-mile logistics can improve daily life." The Arrive Points will be connected by T-Mobile's award-winning 5G network, bringing low latency, high-speed connectivity and high bandwidth to delivery operations and package-tracking performance. This connectivity will give users a smoother delivery experience, while enabling Arrive AI to enhance its real-time delivery capabilities and monitor the unit's operational health and safety data remotely. "The launch of Arrive Points at Curiosity Lab is a milestone for both Arrive AI and for the future of last-mile logistics," said Arrive AI CEO Dan O'Toole. "By combining our AI-driven, temperature-controlled smart mailbox with Peachtree Corners' 5G backbone, we can demonstrate in real-world conditions that secure, friction-free delivery is possible anytime, anywhere - whether the courier is a drone, a robot or a traditional driver. The insights gained here will help cities everywhere reduce porch piracy, cut emissions and accelerate the move to fully autonomous delivery."

AC/DC's Smashes Are Uniformly Soaring
AC/DC's "Thunderstruck" climbs to No. 5 on the U.K.'s Official Rock & Metal Singles chart as four of ... More the band's classics rise simultaneously. INDIO, CALIFORNIA - OCTOBER 07: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY) (L-R) Stevie Young, Brian Johnson, Angus Young, and Cliff Williams of AC/DC perform onstage during the Power Trip music festival at Empire Polo Club on October 07, 2023 in Indio, California. (Photo byfor Power Trip) Even without releasing anything new, AC/DC still commands an incredible amount of space on the Official Rock & Metal Singles chart in the U.K. The group ranks among the most successful names on the list at the moment, with multiple smashes appearing at the same time. Not only does the Australian rock outfit take up more real estate than almost any other act, but this time around, every one of its tunes manages to climb as sales increase. These decades-old classics are, somehow, still improving after so much time. AC/DC fills four spaces on the Official Rock & Metal Singles chart, meaning the group controls 10% of the entire 40-position ranking, which looks only at the bestselling tunes in those styles. This time around, all four smashes — which have already spent years on the list — manage to climb at least one spot, with most surging multiple rungs at once. "Thunderstruck" is AC/DC's highest-rising hit on the Official Rock & Metal Singles chart this week, which is usually the case. The title climbs to No. 5, growing by one position from its previous placement at No. 6. Fellow time-tested winners "Back in Black," "Highway to Hell," and "You Shook Me All Night Long" also climb ever so slightly, appearing this frame at Nos. 21, 24, and 34, respectively. Among that bunch, the least successful track is "You Shook Me All Night Long," which is still regarded as a generation-defining win. The tune is the only one of the four that has yet to reach No. 1, as it has thus far stalled in the runner-up spot. It has also spent the least amount of time on the tally, with just 457 frames to its credit. That sum would be historic for almost any other act, but when it comes to AC/DC, the other three charting successes on the Official Rock & Metal Singles list have all passed 600 frames. "Thunderstruck" is the only one of AC/DC's songs that manages to appear on more than one tally this week. As it climbs on the Official Rock & Metal Singles chart, it also advances on both the Official Singles Sales and Official Singles Downloads lists, coming in at Nos. 66 and 62, respectively. In both instances, sales increased so much that "Thunderstruck" was able to push forward by more than 10 spots.

Chicago kicks off Pride Month with powerful brunch event
CHICAGO — Pride Month in Chicago kicked off Sunday with a brunch hosted by Equality Illinois. The event celebrated the LGBTQ+ community and advocated for equality. 'At a very critical moment in our world's history, it's good to know that the fight for justice, the fight for our humanity, still lives on in the soul of this city,' Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said. Mayor Brandon Johnson was one of several friends and allies who filled Venue West for the 2025 Pride Kick-Off Brunch, sharing words of resilience and support. 'Let it be known, in the City of Chicago, we will never flinch or coward or buckle,' Mayor Brandon Johnson said. 'In fact, we will come back even stronger on the other side and our democracy will continue to evolve and Pride Month will always be here.' Mayor Brandon Johnson also mentioned how Chicago has joined a multi-city lawsuit challenging the Trump administration's anti-identity conditions in order to get grants. 'We have been through ups as a community like marriage equality. We have been through downs like the aid's crisis,' Brian Johnson, Equality Illinois' CEO, said. 'It's just a reminder that no matter what is thrown at the queer community, we will be there for each other.' Brian Johnson has led the civil rights organization for the past decade but announced that at the end of the month, he will be stepping down. 'There is no plateau in civil rights. There is no inertia in democracy. We have to constantly be working to maintain your rights and maintain your wins. And I know the organization will continue to do that going forward,' Brian Johnson said. It was announced that Channyn Lynne Parker will serve as interim CEO while the search for a permanent replacement takes place. Kristen Kaza of Slo'Mo and businessman Mark Lieberson were honored for their community work and shown as examples of the continued effort in the fight to maintain wins and defend rights. Former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot was among the attendees. 'You see this room: people celebrating, not afraid, living their authentic life and really that's what pride is all about,' Lightfoot said. This event kicked off a number of celebrations that run through the month of June, including staples like the city's pride parade, art shows, neighborhood festivals and more.
