Summary: Will hydrogen-powered cars drive us into the future? Electric cars like Nissan's Leaf and the Tesla are grabbing all the headlines, but big car makers like Toyota and Hyundai are pouring billions into hydrogen-powered technology too. Toyota, for example, expects 30 percent of all vehicles to be hydrogen powered by 2050. But hydrogen has a bit of a post-Hindenburg image problem, and who knows where you'll be able to fill up?! It's not just the giants of the automotive industry who are backing the technology either. A small hydrogen-fuelled car company called Riversimple calls itself the only independent hydrogen car startup in the world. It's about to start trials of its 2-seater car the Rasa in Wales. Its CEO Hugo Spowers is a former petrol head who's converted to hydrogen fuel cell technology.
