At 1.3 seconds, and with as many false-positives as it sounds like the system has, I don't think a warning would have helped.

No, it would probably take a large part of that time to even react, especially if you are looking at a screen.

However, if the safety driver was trained to brake immediately upon warnings it could have worked quite well. But that would negate the removal of e-brake actuation.....
