1. An airbag system for a vehicle, comprising:
- a surrounding vehicle detection sensor configured to sense a surrounding vehicle and detect driving information regarding the surrounding vehicle;
a passenger detection sensor configured to detect whether a passenger or baggage is present in at least one of front seats and rear seats;
an impact detection sensor configured to detect an impact applied to the vehicle comprising the airbag system;
a seat adjustment device configured to detect and adjust positions of each of the front seats and the rear seats;
a center airbag mounted to a roof between the front and rear seats; and
a controller configured to operate the seat adjustment device to dispose each of the front and rear seats at a predetermined set position when the controller predicts that the vehicle collides based on a signal detected by the surrounding vehicle detection sensor and determines that the passenger or baggage is present in at least one of the rear seats using the passenger detection sensor, and configured to transmit a signal to the center airbag to deploy the center airbag when the controller determines that the impact is applied to the vehicle using the impact detection sensor,wherein the predetermined set position is an initial seat design position at which full deployment of the center airbag is not interrupted by any one of the front seats when the center airbag is deployed.
