    Not really, recently a hydrogen car exploded IIRC.

    Hydrogen cars are really a huge waste of energy.

      Hydrogen is awesome for sea/airports or warehouses.

      In high speed accidents the hydrogen tank can become a bomb.

        Eh. You know what else is super flammable? Gasoline. And lithium batteries. I think hydrogen gets a bad rap. It's the most abundant element in the universe by a wide margin and it's already a byproduct of processes that will become increasingly necessary in a climate change world, like electrolysis.

          The main problem with hydrogen is storage, because it's really good at leaking through most materials when under pressure plus it can dissolve in metals, weakening them. Not to mention that container for hydrogen weighs like a hundred times more than hydrogen inside.
