They could, but would they?
AFM and DI's lean burn mode are each only effective only under light loads as they reduce power. From what I've read the GPs won't go into 4 cyl mode over about 70 on the freeway. So when would you use both, cruising at 40?
They both fill the same roll, but DI adds power and (as implemented in the L76) AFM sucks power.
I think we are more likely to see mild hybrid stuff (shutting of at stoplights) than we are to see AFM.
