For some reason I looked at the picture and thought 'SFO'.
The tech exists for collision avoidance, it probably wouldn't weigh too much either, but the logistics of getting it installed on everything that needs it would be a massive job (although every successful project has to start somewhere). You've got to retrofit the aircraft, having first determined that it's going to work satisfactorily, then find a way of communicating with the tug, possibly via radio as it's short range, then you have to retrofit the tugs. I guess if it's radio based then retrofitting tugs is easy, a new box on the dash with a big red light on it and a power cord. As it's only intended for low-speed ground operation the certification process may not be too bad.
You still wouldn't catch all of the incidents though, only the wingtip ones. Way harder to stop a wing leading edge from hitting something if the Mk 1 eyeball has failed. Thinking here of the recent incident slicing off a tail fin - that was inboard of the wingtip.
