Hydrogen is a horrible fuel for automobiles. It’s produced by electrolysis, i.e. pumping a ton of electricity into water to separate the oxygen and hydrogen. You end up using a lot more energy to create it than you get from it, and it stores less energy than gasoline, so you can’t drive as far on the same size tank.
