This is a good reason for self-driving vehicles to use high-performance (read as "subject to ITAR", alas) IR imaging sensors alongside LIDAR. Detecting/identifying humans on bicycles (or, more generally, humans/wildlife in/near roadways) can be done a lot more reliably with IR imagery than with just visual imagery.
