It's a blind spot. Dozens of cyclist get mowed down by right turning trucks every year in Germany alone and nobody cares about implementing a mandatory technological solution (beyond upgrading mirrors and optional camera systems) for that well defined space and situation at relative slow speeds, because costs to the logistic companies. At least with the autonomous cars everybody still seems to care about eliminating more or less rare errors all together, because we seem less forgiving to technological than human error. And adding a fitting sensors and detection algorithms to eliminate that blind spot is relatively easy and cheap if the car has already a sensor network infrastructure. I doubt that similar accidents with human drivers would even get their own statistical category.
