Arrive AI Inks Deal with Go2 Delivery Setting the Stage for Secure Medication Delivery in Virginia

Arrive AI technology poised to bring autonomous delivery to Hampton Roads, Richmond and Norfolk ahead of other locations

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.

CoTec Holdings Corp. Announces Life Offering and Concurrent Private Placement

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / May 20, 2025 / CoTec Holdings Corp. (TSXV:CTH)(OTCQB:CTHCF) (“CoTec” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce a financing under the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption (as defined below), whereby the Company intends to raise up to $5 million through an offering of up to 6,410,256 units (each, a “Unit“) at a price of $0.78 per Unit (the “LIFE Offering“). Each Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a “Common Share“) and one Common Share purchase warrant (each, a “Warrant“).

Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of $1.20 for a period of 18 months following the issuance of the Units. The Common Shares offered under the LIFE Offering will not be subject to a hold period in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws. The Warrants will be subject to an accelerated expiry provision such that if, for any 15 consecutive trading days (the “Premium Trading Days“) during the unexpired term of the Warrants, the closing price of the Common Shares exceeds $1.35, the expiry date will be accelerated to 30 calendar days (the “Acceleration Clause“). The activation of the Acceleration Clause will be announced by press release and the 30-day period will commence 7 days after the last Premium Trading Day.

Concurrently with the LIFE Offering, the Company also intends to complete a private placement financing whereby the Company intends to raise up to $5,000,000 through an offering of up to 6,410,257 Units to be priced at $0.78 per Unit (the “Concurrent Offering” and together with the LIFE Offering, the “Offering“). The Common Shares offered under the Concurrent Offering will be subject to a four month and one day hold period in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to fund the detailed design and engineering at HyProMag USA LLC, the Company’s drilling program at its Lac Jeannine property, further investment obligations and for general corporate purposes. The Offering will be non-brokered in Canada and the Company has retained ECM Capital Advisors Ltd. as international placement agent and Odeon Capital Group LLC as U.S. placement agent (collectively, the “Agents“). The Company anticipates paying a commission to the Agents in connection with the Offering as well as a finder’s fee to Integrity Capital Group Inc. (“ICG“) in connection with purchasers that may be introduced by ICG to the Offering. Any commissions or finder’s fees payable will be in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV“).

The Offering is expected to close on or about June 15, 2025 or such other date or dates as the Company may determine, and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals including the approval of the TSXV.

Certain insiders of the Company are expected to participate in the Offering, making the Offering a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holdings in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101“). The Company intends to rely on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 as the Company’s shares are currently listed only on the TSXV and OTCQB and neither the fair market value (as determined under MI 61-101) of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involves interested parties, is expected to exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization (as determined under MI 61-101).

Introducing the Tech-Air® Off-Road Vest from Alpinestars: A New Generation of Rider Safety

Alpinestars Tech-Air® Off-Road Vest Now Available at PCI Race Radios

Torrance, CA – Off-road riding just got a serious upgrade. The new Tech-Air® Off-Road Airbag System from Alpinestars is now available through PCI Race Radios, marking a significant leap forward in protective technology for off-road riders. Designed specifically for the unique and unpredictable conditions of off-road motorcycling, this intelligent system is engineered to detect a crash and deploy an airbag in the blink of an eye—inflating before impact even occurs.

In a sport where terrain can change rapidly and accidents can happen without warning, the demand for proactive, real-time protection has never been higher. The Tech-Air® Off-Road Vest is more than just gear—it’s a wearable safety system powered by advanced onboard sensors and smart algorithms. These sensors analyze a rider’s movement 1,000 times per second, identifying crash scenarios instantly and activating the internal airbag to provide critical protection to the chest, back, shoulders, and collarbone.

“This is truly a game changer for off-road protection,” says Dakar Rally Champion Ricky Brabec in a recent video interview. “It’s fast, it’s responsive, and honestly—it’s saved my collarbones multiple times. This is the future.”

Unlike other protection systems that rely on physical tethers or external sensors, the Tech-Air® system is completely self-contained. The vest fits under select Alpinestars jackets or body protection setups and integrates seamlessly into any race or recreational gear kit. The system is rechargeable, reusable, and easy to service, making it a practical option for both professional racers and weekend riders alike.

What truly sets this system apart is its adaptability. From high-speed rally stages and rocky desert terrain to tight singletrack and unpredictable backcountry routes, the Tech-Air® Off-Road system is designed to work across a variety of riding environments. It stays out of your way while you ride—but springs into action the moment it’s needed.

“The data behind it is solid,” says David Kamo, PCI product expert and off-road racing champion. “Alpinestars has logged over 100,000 hours of testing on real riders in real-world conditions. It’s not theory—it’s proven performance. I won’t race without one and consider it just as important as my boots, knee braces, or helmet.”

This isn’t just a tool for top-tier competitors. The Tech-Air® system offers serious value for dual-sport riders, adventure enthusiasts, and up-and-coming racers. As safety becomes a greater focus across all forms of powersports, wearable airbag systems like this are helping redefine what it means to ride protected.

The off-road community continues to push boundaries—technologically, physically, and geographically. With that progress comes the responsibility to protect riders with smarter, more advanced equipment. The Tech-Air® system delivers that next level of protection, without sacrificing performance, freedom of movement, or comfort.

Backed by more than six decades of safety innovation, Alpinestars has engineered a product built to meet the demands of today’s toughest riders. Now, with the support of PCI Race Radios—a trusted name in off-road racing since 1972—this elite technology is more accessible than ever.

Whale Watching Meets Wilderness: West Coast Aquatic Safaris Launches New Combo Tour Package in Tofino

One Unforgettable Adventure. Two Iconic Canadian Wildlife Experiences. New Combo Tour Offers Whale and Bear Watching in a Single Epic Day Trip.

Tofino, B.C. — West Coast Aquatic Safaris, a long-standing ecotour provider based in Tofino, British Columbia, is proud to announce its latest offering: a bundled Whale Watching and Bear Watching Tour available now for the 2025 season. This newly introduced combination experience gives guests the rare chance to witness two of Canada’s most iconic wild species—whales and black bears—in one value-packed, immersive outing, set against the stunning backdrop of Vancouver Island’s rugged Pacific coastline.

Whether planning a getaway as a first-time visitor to the West Coast or a seasoned wildlife enthusiast, this thoughtfully curated package is designed to deliver a comprehensive taste of Tofino’s marine and terrestrial ecosystems in just one day. The experience pairs world-renowned whale watching excursions with an up-close view of coastal black bears, offering participants an educational and visually unforgettable adventure through the heart of Clayoquot Sound, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.

“This package is designed for travelers who want to see it all but are short on time,” says Theresia, Business Manager at West Coast Aquatic Safaris. “Combining two of our most popular tours allows visitors to enjoy both marine and land-based wildlife in a single, seamless itinerary. And for those visiting Tofino for a limited stay, it means not having to choose between bucket-list experiences.”

The tour begins aboard a comfortable, heated vessel outfitted for prime wildlife viewing. Guests head out into the nutrient-rich waters off the coast of Tofino, where gray whales, humpbacks, and orcas can be spotted throughout the season. Led by knowledgeable and Transport Canada-certified naturalists, every tour is grounded in responsible tourism practices and is tailored to highlight seasonal migration patterns, feeding behaviors, and conservation insights.

After a return to shore—or in some cases, a direct route via scenic inlets—guests transition into the second leg of their adventure: the bear watching tour. During low tide, coastal black bears can often be seen emerging from the rainforest to forage for food along the shoreline, flipping rocks in search of crabs, barnacles, and other shellfish. Watching these powerful animals in their natural habitat from the safety and comfort of the boat offers a quiet, respectful form of wildlife observation that both fascinates and educates.

Bookings for the 2025 season are now available at whalesafaris.com/book-tofino-tours, where guests can select from multiple departure times and explore seasonal highlights. Tours are offered from April through October, aligning with peak visibility for both marine mammals and black bears foraging at low tide.

“Pairing these tours wasn’t just about convenience,” adds Tour Captain Keith Phillips, who has led marine wildlife expeditions for over a decade. “We wanted to create an immersive way for people to better understand the rich biodiversity of the Clayoquot Sound region—without having to pick just one experience. It’s a deeper, more memorable connection to the natural world.”

With global attention on sustainable travel and environmental conservation, Tofino continues to be a leading destination for eco-conscious tourism. By combining two high-impact wildlife experiences into one efficient and ethically guided day trip, West Coast Aquatic Safaris aims to set a new standard for thoughtful, nature-based travel in British Columbia.

West Coast Aquatic Safaris is a trusted leader in Tofino ecotourism, offering whale watching, bear watching, hot springs tours, and custom marine wildlife excursions since 2008.

The alliance establishes a first-of-its-kind mobile media network that combines high-impact fleet advertising with national broadcast exposure – delivering more than 1 billion brand impressions over the next decade.

As part of the agreement, 10 cross-country transport trucks and over 100 professionally wrapped race cars will serve as rolling billboards, activating at premier U.S. racing circuits and across 500,000+ road miles annually.

Each transport vehicle and performance car will feature custom QR codes, ticker symbols, and interactive digital links, turning live impressions into trackable engagement. Sponsors will be seamlessly integrated across New to The Street’s robust ecosystem, including:
- Televised features on Fox Business and Bloomberg TV (as sponsored programming)
- YouTube exposure to 2.51M+ subscribers
- Times Square billboard rotations (Reuters, Nasdaq)
- Social and digital amplification across 500K+ followers
- On-site branding at racing events, paddocks, classrooms, and hospitality zones
Quote from Vince Caruso, Co-Founder and CEO, New to The Street

“It’s rare to find a platform that’s as visually powerful and emotionally resonant as Skip Barber. This partnership fuses adrenaline with investor engagement – from Virginia International Raceway to Sonoma to Wall Street. With wrapped assets, national airtime, and data-driven media, we’re delivering brand experiences that are not just seen, but remembered and acted upon.”

An All-American Partnership with Global Reach

New to The Street will offer category-exclusive sponsorship packages for public companies and financial firms that combine fleet branding with full-spectrum media placement. With planned expansion into 26 million Middle Eastern homes in June 2025, and broadcast distribution reaching over 200 million U.S. households weekly, the program is designed to scale both visibility and credibility for participating brands.

Program Forecast & Availability
