Even if the sensors were not working there still should not have been an accident. The trains are not totally automated and they have a driver in the train for that purpose.
At 55-60 mph and a 125 ft brake pattern, the driver did not apply the brakes until a second or two before impact.
If you are driving anything and you are going around a bend with a blind spot don't you slow down until you can see what is ahead of you?

Why are you so invested in it being driver error?
