Maybe I'm cynical here but any technology that allows safer overbooking will be used to squeeze more bookings on a plane again increasing the risk of upset passengers and PR disasters. Markets lead to exploring boundaries and the boundary to overbooking is the willingness of the company to suffer the consequences. That willingness is cultural and will not be changed by technology.
