NVIDIA Connect: accelerating product and software development

Late in 2025, Arrive AI was accepted into the NVIDIA Connect program, enabling the company to dramatically accelerate product iteration and software development-including faster simulation workflows and improved digital modeling that compresses build-test cycles.

Patents: expanding an already-strong moat

Arrive AI's innovation engine was matched by continued investment in defensible IP. The company's patent portfolio expanded in 2025, including the issuance of the company's ninth U.S. patent (Aug. 18, 2025).

Arrive AI's IP portfolio now includes 9 issued patents and additional patents pending, along with trademarks and international filings-strengthening the company's platform advantage as autonomous delivery scales.

In 2026, Arrive AI plans to build on 2025's momentum by scaling deployments, expanding enterprise and healthcare use cases, and accelerating development through NVIDIA Connect-enabled workflows. The company will also engage ecosystem partners and industry leaders at major events, including CES 2026.
