There have been several incidents in the last few years wherein a car on autopilot killed a motorcyclist.

Granted, most referring to about three incidents (in addition to the one I noted above), but plenty of commentary on these things not "seeing" motorcycles under all conditions. Like the sunny afternoon captured in the photo accompanying the linked article:
