Depends on how the shock wave propagated and the direction[s], velocity, and mass of any shrapnel caused by the explosion.

I would guess that if he was trying to prepare a bomb en route, he would have been doing so at the far end of the back seat from the driver to attempt to keep it hidden from view, so the brunt of the blast probably went into the bomb maker, the passenger side rear door, and the back of the passenger side front seat, somewhat shielding the driver. Probably didn't do much good for his ear drums, though!

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
