There is a camera/sensor mounted at the top of the instrument cluster/panel. I'm pretty sure that is probably required by law so the car can deactivate the automated driving features and alert them if someone isn't paying attention or somehow falls asleep!
That camera will be on all X5s with the Driving Assistance packages...both the Plus available now and the Pro in December will have it. That is why many are thinking the change in December to Pro is just a software/coding change...not hardware.
You can see the camera/sensor below.
