Engineering360: "This sensor could accelerate development of hydrogen-fueled vehicles"

Don't know why we are so fixated on using hydrogen as a fuel source in vehicles. It is really a poor application for it. Hydrogen fuel cell technology is much better suited to long term or seasonal energy storage on the grid. Batteries belong in cars.

Agree. Developments in technology such as this will have important uses, but it isn't for everyday cars and shouldn't be headlined as such. There are a few niche vehicles that suit H2 fuel cell application (drones, factory forklifts, trains?), but otherwise I too see the main applications of H2 FC's elsewhere, including in the energy storage mix.
