Well we would expect no different from medicine, or home construction, or automobiles without some basic guarantees:
1. High visibility of problems (people die, building collapse, crashes)
2. Regulation and inspection (some standards for evaluation and lines that should not be crossed)
3. Certification (you wouldn't let an uncertified random person do heart surgery on you, or build your house).
But for this to be possible, we as a whole would have to agree these are priorities and impose these limits. We're still in the time of the "surgery without anasthesia" or "no building codes" or "just let the factories emit whatever they want". Understandable due to the short time that software has been really "important" in day-to-day life, but now its time to slow down and make sure we do it right.
