A human has two eyes and a brain designed to chase mammoth at 14mph, we have an excuse. This car surely has side pointing sensors and much faster processing capacity? A serious fail IMHO.
The whole point of these vehicles is that they'll obey the rules and not make mistakes. If they need to fit IFF transceivers to older vehicles its technology that isn't ready yet.
The company I work for is adapting reversing and ACC sensors to avoid getting bicycles in this sort of manoeuvre. Currently they alert the driver (HGV) but its a stepping stone towards telling the AI.

Here in the UK, we could revert to our original rules for the highway and have a man carrying a red flag to walk in front of each and every motorised vehicle on the public roads, perhaps to include motorcycles?
That will fix the problem: at least that is how the UK politicians decided to cope with the public demand for safety in their brave new world of the 20th century.
That bit of legislation could be updated while it is re-introduced to turn the red flag, which is a little too close to party politics of old, into an LED light, still red of course. Second thoughts, the light has to be flashing orange now, red being allocated to fire brigade vehicles.
