A vehicle (e.g. autonomous vehicle) includes a bulkhead 16 and an airbag 18 inflatable to an inflated position. The airbag includes a forward-facing panel 20 mounted to the bulkhead and a rearward-facing 22 panel opposite the forward-facing panel. The airbag in the inflated position has an intermediate extension 28 sandwiched between left and right extensions 24, 26, the extensions extending from the rearward-facing panel. The intermediate extension extends from the rearward-facing panel farther than the left and right extensions. The forward and rearward-facing panels may be inflatable upwardly and downwardly relative to a base mounted to the bulkhead. The rearward-facing panel may include a first portion 62 extending upwardly relative to the base to a first distal end. The left, right, and intermediate extensions may extend from this first portion. The airbag may extend across the width and height of the vehicle. The intermediate extension may be disposed between the front seats of the vehicle. Also disclosed is an airbag assembly mounted to a base rather than specifically to a bulkhead. During a collision the airbag may absorb energy from the head and knees of the occupant(s) and may prevent front passengers from impacting each other.
