If it has no power, then it can't detect anything. It's like a driver falling asleep

Yes, it shouldn't happen and something clearly went horribly wrong, but well, the one asleep at the wheel isn't going to be detecting things

Ahhh. I wasn't seeing the full incident. Lost main power they radioed a warning. Backup generation isn't designed to fully stop a huge boat. Life safety systems on board should be operational but it's the problem here is stopping a giant heavy boat...

Backup generation runs the systems on the boat, not the propulsion. They may have had bow thrusters, but without the main engine, there's very little they could have done.
