Look at infineon integrated drivers
(TLE6220, BTSxxx, BSPxxx, ...)
These drivers are driven with a logic state, are protected against overheat and short-circuits. Most of them are designed to control relays and have the freewheel diode integrated
Some of them have a diagnosis thru SPI or analog output.
The only problem I've seen is that when a quad driver has an output in short-circuit and if you don't deactivate this one by software, the overheating could pertubate an other driver which isn't in failure. You should take care of this for example by doing a little FMEA (Failure Mode Effect and Analysis)
