I believe humans do cause more accidents, so these are definitely safer. But, the point is that these cars are meant to be very safe. If I can't drive my motorcycle around an autonomous car and feel safe, that's not great.
Honestly, what makes you more uncomfortable passing an autonomous vehicle than a human driver? At least you know the AV won't take it personally when you pass. Are we seeing instances of AV's sideswiping (motor)cyclists of any sort?
If anything, I would be more concerned with being in FRONT of an AV but that also is when I'm most concerned about humans behind me too. Getting decimated from behind while on 2-wheels is one of those sitting duck scenarios.
