It's doubtful they ever will, not unless cost is favorable. Lump it in with laser ignition and HCCI (though with knock sensors getting better, we might be ten years away from getting it in production... or not)...
If the plugs do as advertised, they'll probably not net more than 1-2 mpg on today's already efficient direct injection engines... which manufacturers would be able to get by simply incrementally upping the pressure threshold for injectors... which they're already paying an arm and a leg for, anyway.
