That's perfectly fair if the cars will be exclusively tested on the families of the engineers & managers working on those cars.

This would set the incentives straight at least.

I would be more comfortable limiting it to the families of the managers. The engineers, due to our legal and social system, have almost no control whatsoever over when the product gets released, what tools they have access to, how much time they are given for testing, etc. All of those decisions are driven by management who have been guaranteed by courts that there simply is no degree of corner-cutting which could ever possibly amount to criminal negligence because software is involved.
