First there are the knee airbags, the Rear curtain airbags then the Rear seat center airbags.

One day, they would put an airbag on every single trim in the car.

I really think it's just a new gimmick for Toyota to show-off.

How many airbags are on a high-end Toyota/Lexus these days?

I do not mean those airbags are useless, but I think it's too much...

Toyota Develops World’s 1st Rear-seat Center Airbag
Tokyo — TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION (TMC) announces it has developed a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) rear-seat center airbag—the first*1 in the world—to help reduce the severity of secondary injuries incurred by rear-seat passengers in a side-on collision.

The new airbag is fitted in a large, fixed, rear-seat center console that comes in a version of a Toyota model to be launched in Japan in the near future. When the vehicle is hit side-on, the airbag deploys from the top of the console to act as a barrier that helps lessen injuries caused by passengers colliding with each other or into the console.

I am sure Toyota isn't dumb enough to do that.

They will just cancel that airbag whenever someone is in the middle, just like automatic passenger airbag cancellation for infants or child.
