Unfortunately war keeps proving the mines are a very useful tool, and they work well as part of a battle plan when used early. That makes the shoot and forget strategy a very useful one for any military commander.

The better answer is limited lifespan. Maybe remote triggers - if the enemy doesn't learn how to trigger them. That is when we think the current battle is over any mines left should just destroy themselves in hopes that nobody happens to be near them.
