Are cars since then required to have formally verified codebases, or is "no one could prove [there are no bugs]" still true?

Trying to evaluate what happened based on observation of events alone and stats, in absence of a formal proof of issue or non-issue... the cars didn't just disappear overnight so if there was such an issue... where did it go?
That software was never fixed. Those cars were still on the road after the "scandal". The problem went away somehow.
