Why the downvotes? Do you disagree with the expectation or do you dislike the development? The question is about what will happen, not what we want to happen. I don't like it but I expect full surveillance in 10 years.
Ha! The police don't pursue crimes against cyclists.
What technology will disappear in the next 10 years?
It will be fully automated. You mark the position and time, an AI checks the record and the thief will be punished. No police nor judge needed.
Doesn't really keep my bike where I expect it to be, though, does it? So what does all that violation of human rights actually buy us?

Violated humans. Political stability by removing all dissidents.
