The problems with hydrogen have never been with using it as a fuel source. The first problem is storage/transport of the fuel and the second is what happens to a vehicle with a hydrogen fuel tank when it's ruptured in an accident?

I can see a train making sense - a lot more space for storage and cooling, plus the risk of an accident is very low. But I haven't seen anything about these issues being addressed in motor vehicles.
