AGP Executive Report

Last update: 40 minutes ago

Right-to-Repair Fight: Rep. Neal Dunn (R-Fla.) introduced the REPAIR Act (H.R. 1566) after new data showed U.S. truck operating costs hit record highs in 2025, with repair and maintenance climbing 8.6%—and automakers’ software locks making independent fixes harder. Federal Safety Scrutiny: Tesla’s steering-wheel-free Cybercab rollout in Austin triggered a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration probe/audit of about 1,000 vehicles, after regulators flagged gaps in how the company self-certified compliance for cars without standard driver controls. Healthcare Supply Chain: Baxter and B. Braun issued separate recalls of 0.9% sodium chloride IV bags in multiple states, including Florida, citing different contaminants found inside sealed solutions. Local Manufacturing & Growth: VSE Corp. bought Auburn’s Atech Turbine Components, adding repair capabilities tied to Pratt & Whitney Canada work. Workforce & Training: Florida legislators are pushing to make the new U.S. Space Academy a permanent Space Coast home base, aiming to grow skilled aerospace and defense talent locally. Tech & Consumer Health: FIU researchers found popular smartwatches can significantly overstate calorie burn, with errors worsening for higher body-fat participants.
