Dear Ms. Wirth:

 

By letter dated February 20, 2025, the staff (the “Staff,” “you” or “your”) of the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) provided Arrive AI Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) with its comments to the Company’s Form S-1 filed on January 27, 2025.

Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 Filed January 27, 2025

Risk Factors

If we materially breach the Exclusive Patent License Agreement..., page 13

 

1. We note that you added this risk factor in response to prior comment 7. Please revise to remove the mitigating language “[a]lthough unlikely to happen” as it mitigates the risk presented here. Additionally, please appropriately state the risk to investors if Mr. O’Toole terminates the Exclusive Patent License Agreement.

 

  RESPONSE: The Company has revised its disclosure by removing all mitigating language in the risk factor section and expanded the explanation regarding the risk to investors if Mr. O’Toole terminates the Exclusive Patent License Agreement.

 

Business, page 31

 

2. We note your amended disclosure in response to prior comment 3 and we reissue in part. With respect to your customer agreements/SOWs and your agreements for installing AP3 units that you plan to provide to MaaS in 2025, please revise to disclose the material terms of such agreements. To the extent that you believe certain portions of the agreements are confidential, please consider using Rule 83 to request confidential treatment of information or Item 601(b)(10)(iv) to make certain redactions.

 

  RESPONSE: The Company has made the revisions in all relevant sections of its amended registration statement to address the Staff’s comment in connection with the Company’s Statements of Work (“SOW”). Per our counsel’s discussions with the Staff, since the Company has agreed not to disclose the identity of the parties to the SOWs, we have submitted the relevant SOWs confidentially. Additionally, we have updated the exhibit index on page II-5 to remove agreements that are no longer applicable or material. We have also eliminated references to these agreements in the disclosure within the Registration Statement to reflect these changes.

 

 

 

 

3. We note your amended disclosure in response to prior comment 2. To the extent material, please revise to describe the various types of software that you anticipate using in your business. Make it clear, if true, that you do not currently and may never use such software because its use is aspirational in nature.

 

RESPONSE: The Company has revised its disclosure to describe the various types of software that the Company anticipates using in its business and made it clear, that the Company does not currently and may never use such software because its use is aspirational in nature.
