I've got no problem with fuel cells, but safety is a major concern. Here is a shot of a Tesla, which uses batteries (NOT fuel cells), after a crash. And there have been several crashes and fires, some fatal. Fighting the ensuing fire required special equipment and not every fire brigade has the equipment or the training. A car using hydrogen could end up like The Hindenburg.

That must be a fake picture. As we have been assured, Teslas are so safe that you can take your hands off the wheel and let the car do the driving as you watch a DVD. A Tesla will never get in an accident. /s
