I wouldn't. I'd take $10mil and blow it and take the remaining 90 and sock it away in high quality fixed income and get paid to walk around my house naked for the rest of my life.
well obviously, but the question is for a job interview. the correct answer is something thoughtful, like "well these 3 sectors interest me so I'd probably look for co-invest opportunities there, and then keep 80% of the rest of it in dry powder as other opportunities arise"
what I'd stay away from
I agree with you on autonomous driving. I'm also not a fan of investing behind areas that require such significant intervention from governments / regulators. There's also too much "headline risk" there - all you need is a couple of high profile incidents and the winds could easily shift backwards.

Assuming this is for a principal investing role (PE thread...) my answer would be to a) find a profitable or marginally unprofitable SaaS business with compelling opportunities for inorganic growth, or b) partner with a serially successful founder for a new but capital efficient venture.
Right now everything Series B or later is incredibly expensive, and everything earlier is riddled with execution risk and/or has a business model premised on the venture markets staying wide open forever.
