Yes/no. The (formal) reason SFMTA went with the Thales/Alcatel system was the ability to overlay the new setup over the old. None of the other bidders met that requirement. Depending on the hardware side of things it's entirely possible you couldn't/wouldn't want to run the two systems in tandem with BART.
That said BART wanted to run AATCS trials on the mainline in Oakland. No clue if they actually managed to do that before GE pulled the plug on the project.
