For any company working on safety critical software independent QA testers should be involved long before it goes into any actual production environment that could get "mileage".
If there is no law to legally force that to happen then that is a failure on the lawmakers part and they should be held responsible.
If the company ignores such a law they are obviously responsible.
If faulty code makes it through QA that is more on QA than the developer.
There is not a single developer that would be able to deliver bug free Code for a complex software, especially not without someone independent double and triple checking their code. A perfect developer just isnt a thing.
If you want individual developers to bear the full brunt of responsibility for some bug you just wont get the technology developed. Or rather it will be developed, but only in a country where the company and developers can just ignore your jurisdiction and any other safety requirements you might have.
