Honor 7X is a budget phone that has been released back in 2017; not a device you would peg as one to get any kind of update in early 2019. Well, you would be wrong.

”Keeping Summer Safe” by Tesla
Elon Musk is known for, every now and then, coming up with something crazy. Sometimes it is a small thing, like Boring Company’s ”flamethrower”, other times it is something as huge as sending a ship into space. This time it is, I suppose, something in-between: middle level of crazyness, you could say. Sentry Mode is an upcoming feature for Tesla cars.
