Down's syndrome "jokes" are not acceptable. But to be honest, I don't see that any GIFs add much to the discussion.
Anyway, back to hydrogen: seriously, I agree. It allows the existing internal combustion principle that we all know and love to continue: all that character and noise and feel that only comes from blowing something up in eight cylinders. It's inexhaustable. Burning it is environmentally sustainable. Hurray.
But, unless some genius new catalytic chemical process is found, it takes power to make. To me it seems logical for that to be solar - perhaps even integrated into the vehicle, recycling your "fuel" all day long in the car park, with stations to top up on really long journeys. Or something.
Either way, the technology is alive in the hands of people smarter than me, and I suspect it will reach the mainstream long before self-crashing cars.
