Toyota has begun selling a hydrogen powered fuel-cell vehicle. They have
5320 patents relating to the fuel system. They want to put them in the
public domain so that other manufacturers make fuel-cell vehicles, so that
fueling stations will be built. They realize that with their own sales
alone the necessary infrastructure will not be constructed.

I think this is a dead-end technology. It cannot compete with plug-in
electric hybrid cars and pure electric vehicles.
