So do they run off the hydrogen produced by the water??

The only emission is water vapor.

Couldn't be a bad thing. Think about a highway full of cars sitting in rush hour traffic. One car may not make that much water but thousands could be a different story.

Will also bring in the option of aquaplaning...so there will be more accidents.

apparently in poland they run the cars on gas, and jus use petrol for the initial engine start and it supposed to be much more efficient.

Isn't the big problem the amount of energy it takes to make the hydrogen fuel?

Good point. You will still need a lot of resources.
