Possibly (certainly not here in the UK), but the majority of motorcycle accidents involve another vehicle, and my experience (as someone who's ridden on the roads for nearly 30 years) of other road users is that it's often a lack of awareness of the presence of a motorbike that creates issues. I treat everyone else on the road as if they are actively trying to kill me, and it has worked so far.
I'm sure that autonomous vehicles will be much more bike-friendly as they won't fail to look at junctions, and also will be much better at assessing the speed of an oncoming motorcycle (which many have problems with due to the size, apparently). And hopefully bikes will have some of the safety elements added to them by this time, making them inherently safer.
