Hydrogen definitely is the future, it just may not be the future for cars. Much more likely to be used for transportation modes that have long running and consistent speeds. Long distance trucks, cargo ships, planes, etc..
The problem with cars is that they're so intermittently used and the loads are so variable. The only fuel cells that are really up to that task in particular are PEM fuel cells, which are expensive and inefficient compared to solid oxide and alkaline cells. Solid oxide cells might have a chance if used in a more plugin-hybrid form, where the fuel cell is used as a range extender.
