I don't understand why car manufacturers or car seat makers haven't come up with something to prevent this. I know there are gadgets a parent can buy but no one thinks it will happen to them.
I would think it would be easy to design a car seat that, say, alarms when the engine goes off, until the latch is released. Or car windows that show the interior temperature when the engine is off, and alarm when it gets above X degrees (but only when a living being in inside). Or something along those lines.
Yes, and yes.
Newer Fords have a Check Back Seat warning sound & flashing graphic on the screen.
Same warning, whether there is absolutely nothing in the back seat, a 21 pound Corgi, or luggage for 2 adults for 10 days & a cooler with drinks & snacks.

We found the Ride N Remind to be the best car seat alarm. We’ve also gathered some DIY and budget-friendly alternatives.
