A seating assembly 20 for a vehicle 15 includes a seat back 25 and an airbag 40. The seat back has a bottom (26a fig.5), a top (26b), and a midpoint (M). The airbag is supported by the seat back and, in an inflated position, the airbag extends from the top to location (L) between the midpoint and the bottom, defining a cavity 41 with an opening 42 facing the bottom and away from the seat back. The airbag may form a hood, extending over an occupant in a quarter-ellipsoid shape, and may comprise a first chamber 43a and second chamber 43b which may further be joined by a tether 65a. Each chamber may comprise a top portion 51a,51b and first and second legs 54a,54b. There may be further tethers 50c,50d securing each side of the airbag to respective side surfaces of the seat back. The airbag legs may extend below a shoulder of a Hybrid III 50th male crash test dummy positioned in a seated position on a seat bottom 21 attached to the bottom of the seat back. The assembly may be rotatably attached to a vehicle floor 17 and may be used in an autonomous vehicle.
