The only solution to that is to hit them in the wallet. "You don't have 
money to do things wrong" would go a long way toward proper quality in 
software. One hopes that the Toyota case would provide a wake-up, but it 
seems that it has not gotten enough coverage. (The general media bought the 
so-called "NASA experts" that weren't even given the full source code to 
analyze. That's just a whitewash. One notes that the juries in the various 
lawsuits didn't buy the whitewash when the plaintiff's lawyers got real 
experts to analyze the real source code. Too bad that didn't get far more 
media play.)
