Imagine having an ad budget of pi billion dollars...

  I would launch a new $10,000,000 engineering bounty every Monday and a $30,000,000 race event every weekend. The engineering bounties would be for open source hardware, software, and tooling challenges, with a heavy focus on optimizing robots and social computer vision problems. The races each weekend would alternate between full size trucks in a strong man style competition, manned quadcopters doing search and rescue challenges, and autonomous cars in an urban race series. I would spend the remaining $10,000,000 from the week's budget on vocational scholarships and micro-loans for low income single parents. If anyone from GM is reading this, let's talk.

    It might be pretty close to what Tesla is doing with its own marketing budget... beside, not open sourcing it or doing weekend races (although Nurburgring and other drag tests could count).

    still a better policy than what the fed is doing
