If the car was backing out, that was a human driver in control, not autopilot. Autopilot can only be enabled while driving on a well-marked roadway. The first part is plausible however. Likely the software at the time could not handle rain appropriately and you are absolutely right to question this if they tell you it was normal.

The car was being summoned from a parking space. Summon / Smart Summon will absolutely back out of a space fully autonomously.
