2021 S Has Infrared sensors / cameras in upper console....??

Was watching a video posted in the delivery thread and noticed that there is the tell tale sign of infrared lights / sensors in the upper console of the S, near the camera.

Is this just for low-light facial recognition?

Interesting....

It might also be used to sense occupants in the driver and passenger seats to avoid driverless cars, but I would assume Musk would opt to use a camera to monitor occupancy and attention of the driver seat as in the 3 series, and I haven't heard that the S and X redo have added interior cameras.

There is an interior camera in the refresh just like the M3/MY now. Same spot. I think there's a photo of it somewhere from Omar.
