For varying definitions of “governments” and “will”. You’re looking at this from a very western perspective.
For example, airbags have proven to drastically increase safety, yet almost a half-century later they’re still not required by many countries across 2 and a half continents. Governments only require safety equipment as far as their population can afford it.

Global automakers have, and still do, make different vehicles for different markets. And further, some only make vehicles for developing economies.
