How is the hyrdrogen generated? An electric powerplant that uses more energy to crate the hydrogen?
Still the Porsche?piech clan are pretty smart though the Porsche board screwed up on the VW takeover attempt.. They went deep into debt even after kicking the hedge fund shorts arses.
Hydrogen highway? Whats the big deal about that? Any US highway with fast food restaurants alongside them are already Methane highways.
Big question: Where is the hydrogen going to come from? Where is the energy source to free the hydrogen from all those molecules it’s now bound up in so that it’s available to put in cars?
Why is it illegal for an airship to use hydrogen, but its ok for a car speeding down a highway to use it?
The explosive collisions should be spectacular...!
Unlike us and despite all their hue and cry to the contrary, Britain is building more nuclear plants.
Interesting theft deterrence idea they have. Just make a really ugly car.

Aw! Don’t start with all that scientifical stuff.
Because they’ve got the containment issues resolved - the hydrogen is stored in a nice safe fuel cell (like a race car), unlike an airship where it is contained in fragile bladders.
Also, people aren’t dumb enough to paint their cars with thermite, an incendiary/explosive.
Except it wasn’t the hydrogen at fault, it was the fact that the damn thing was painted with EXPLOSIVES.
Great concept— an explosive deathtrap for a vehicle. Islamo-fascists can use them as suicide bombs....
I would feel much safer in a Helium-powered car. Didn’t the Hindenburg teach these people ANYTHING???
I bet even crash test dummies refused to test the car ...

They need to contract body styling to the Italians, stat!

First impression was that John Drake’s car got swallowed by The Islands’ bubble.
