Hydrogen-powered cars?

I found an interview of Dr. Lars Peter Thiesen, Manager Hydrogen & Fuel Cell Development for GM Europe, about fuel cell-powered vehicles. Apparently GM has been working on a fuel cell vehicle since 1997, which is the time I was working on fuel cells for the Department of Energy at Los Alamos National Laboratory.

The key facts about this "Hydrogen 4" car (it's GM's 4th generation fuel cell car):
180 miles per fill-up
3-5 minutes to refill 4.2 kg of hydrogen at 10,000 psi
Reportedly meets all US regulations for crash worthiness
