We are already in a failure state, the camera did detect a cyclist that is not a cyclist. At this point motion detection will do something, but since the back of the car transforms differently than a real cyclist, this something is at best right by random chance. The worst decision it can make is, that the cyclists are speeding away from the autonomous car and it can therefore accelerate.
