Just reading up on the techniques that they're trying to implement, it sounds way too complicated and expensive. Dual spark or laser ignition would already be over the top, but at least you don't need to precisely control intake temperatures, compression ratio, etc. which gets harder as the engine ages.

I feel like laser ignition at multiple points should be able to get most of the way there, if burn speed is really worth pursuing at all.
