Good point! I hadn't even considered the consequences of accidents. When these things hit the road that will come up. In addition to people fearing what's going on underneath the hood of their car ("this isn't like the lawnmower honey"), accidents present an additional fear. High temperatures, not to mention fears about the escape of hydrogen gas (the public loves to reminisce about old disasters such as Hindenburg), will have consumers worrying. PLENTY of people refuse to fly because of media accident coverage, despite the fact that it's statistically the most safe way to travel.
