Agreed. However, how dangerous is stuff like this, when you have 
unskilled assembly line workers assembling these very same systems? 
Especially when you have companies like Ford who have under the table 
deals with the UAW, to have quotas for unskilled labor.

Imagine the fiasco with Firestone tires, when they switched out to 
unskilled workers, who didn't put the proper amounts of steel belts 
into tires. You ended up with tires randomly blowing-out, sometimes 
causing roll-overs, and many deaths. Now imagine these same morons 
(like the one cited in the previous link) are the people installing 
highly pressurized hydrogen tanks into cars...

In the Firestone fiasco, Ford took the hit, even though it really 
wasn't their fault. Their product, the Ford Explorer/Mercury 
Mountaineer, simply happened to be in the wrong place, and the wrong 
time: Caught between the crossfire of defective tires, and unskilled 
drivers. But still, this really only hurt Ford, and not the other 
makers of SUVs & firestone tires. Imagine if a whole industry 
switched over pressurized hydrogen tanks. One small incident like 
this could cost the industry millions in shaken consumer confidence...
