Nope. The switch is pure mechanic.
I don't know why they are not standard now with all the other safety devices: ABS, rev limiters, ride modes, traction control, etc.
My 1972 Kawasaki H2 Mach IV had self cancelling turn signals. No wheelie limiting electronics though.
However nothing is perfect. I made a left turn with my H2 at the end of an off ramp. Three blocks later while I passing through a busy intersection on a green light, I had a car make a left turn right in front of me.
I chased the driver down, and angrily scolded him. He pointed to my flashing left turn signal, and he said he though I was going to make a turn in the other direction. I apologized to him, and noticed his wife and two kids were wide eyed with fear because of this angry motorcyclist. I skulked away feeling very small.
Most CB's don't have any of that stuff

I do like the Ferrets solution that entails always pushing the button to cancel the signal. However I just cannot get around why auto cancel is not the default behavior. In my mind Honda tends to come down on the side of such issues with features that just make sense to me. But this just doesn't percolate.
