Not to say that hydrogen dirigibles are safe, but they're safer than the Hindenburg would lead you to believe. The thing that surprises me is that the Hindenburg doesn't come up more frequently when people talk about hydrogen-fueled cars...

"During the early evening of 12 February 1935, while returning to Moffett Field from an operation over the ocean, USS Macon encountered a storm off Point Sur, California. A violent gust tore off her upper fin, causing damage that soon brought her down into the sea. Though all but two of her crew were rescued, the dirigible sank in deep water, effectively ending the Navy's controversial, and trouble-plagued, program of rigid airship operations." I live near moffett field. we still have wind out here. USS Macon. not filled with hydrogen, but destroyed by a violent gust of wind.
