Could be a special switch on the fob for that. Could beep every five minutes to remind you. Lots of ways to handle it that would save lives at the cost of only minimal inconvenience.
If you add a special switch, that increases costs. Why should car buyers bear extra expenses for less than 100 deaths a year?
Should we require special bathtub sensors that beep when they detects still water because hundreds of people drown in bathtubs each year?
Would've saved this guy's life. That's different.

How much do you think a switch costs?
If you told me that, for less than a dollar, I could save 50 lives, I'd do it in an instant. It's weird to me that you wouldn't.
