Well, a sufficiently advanced AI would be able to "force someone to stop".

Perhaps the tolerable accidents rate will be increased for India.

Or, even simpler, India wont get self-driving cars -- the same way countries in the developing world don't get lots of modern services and/or conveniences until they have the infrastructure for them.
