If a human driver isn't paying attention to the road, fails to see a stop sign, and drives past it causing an accident, isn't it a reasonable use of English to say they "ignored" the sign?
Ignoring can mean failing to notice something, as well as noticing but disregarding it. Words can often have multiple similar complementary meanings. I don't think the usage here is incorrect, or even misleading.
