KJFK has a system like this that uses a blend of radar and transponder multilateration to automatically signal to aircraft that they are about to enter an active runway. The pilot either did not see (for human or technical factors) or disregarded this system during the incursion.

What is lacking (to your point) is the ability to automatically compare ATC’s verbal instruction to the aircraft to its actual position.



I showed this in another thread, ForeFlight has taxi clearance in their Performance plan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9p5-7jVg8fE

Very curious if/when they'll add speach to text/clearance. The syntax is fairly standard, so should be easy to parse, I'm just curious how tolerant folks would be of some % failure.
