If the sensor might allow the airbag to deploy while driving with no collision, that could be deadly.
When my Dodge Caravan had an air bag sensor problem, it wasn't in danger of deploying unnecessarily, but rather not deploying in a collision.
However, the horn didn't work.
If your airbag is not in danger of deploying unnecessarily, your car is safe to drive, just get the sensor repaired as soon as you can.
