What is this on a 2019 JLU?

I just noticed this this weekend and I'm not sure what it is near the shifter. (It's an automatic) I've read the manual before I asked.

Under that little panel is the release to put the transmission into neutral.

Is this something new on this year? I had a 2007 JK before this and not sure if it had one.
