In the case of prototypes, they can simply have the soon-to-be owner sign a waiver eliminating all liability (even if the vehicle isn't exactly up to DOT standards). There are collectors that would pay serious $$$$$ for such vehicles, even if they aren't street legal. There so much money on the table that can be used for so much good.
It's been discussed to hell and back here. Even with waivers, there's too much liability.

A few people on this site tried to get GM to sell them the 5th gen IVERs and were promptly told "no."
