This is exactly how it happens. We often go on autopilot based on our routine.
But the few days ever that my wife dropped them off before work, she didn't forget them in the back seat.......

It’s pretty rare. You explained how in your post you do the same thing by going on autopilot and performing your routine even though there are no children to drop off. That’s how these things typically happen, but a bit of the inverse of what you have experienced.

Over 3.6 million babies are born in the US every year. If there’s a 0.001% chance that one of those babies’ parents will at some point during their infancy make the mistake of forgetting they are in the back seat, that’s ~36 deaths a year. Which is close to the actual number.
It’s not common, but it is tragic. You can feel empathy for those parents without absolving them of guilt.
