Those are only examples, but

1 million to an anti-euthanasia group probably doesn't really affect policy a lot.

It can certainly tip the balance for a given state legislation or a ballot, such as the one in Maine.

And we haven't really even seen self-driving cars being resisted in earnest

Lobbying to shift funding away from NHTSA would be invisible.
