Security and protection
The Toyota Mirai model has security and protection systems, including a self-activating emergency brake system, a lane keeping system, and a system for maintaining a safe distance between the car and the vehicles around it by adjusting the speed.
Last Wednesday, the second-generation Toyota Mirai set a new world record for mileage per gallon of hydrogen.
The journey started at a hydrogen station in Orly, a town in the southern suburbs of Paris, covered 1,003 km on French public roads, 4 drivers took turns at the wheel, distance and fuel consumption approved by an independent third party.
The Mirai's fuel tank could hold 5.6 kilograms of hydrogen, or about 37.5 gallons, meaning that in the end it only used 0.55 kilograms per 100 kilometres, The News Well reported.

Toyota broke the previous record set by the Hyundai Nexo, which covered the 887.5 kilometers between Melbourne and Broken Hill in Australia.
The Mirai's road trip took 13 hours and 6 minutes, with an average of just under 68 kilometers per hour, and by the end of the trip Toyota had about 9 kilometers left in it.
Under normal driving conditions, the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle is rated as 650 km on a single fuel tank, which takes only 5 minutes to fill.

Eco-friendly driving
Drivers adopted "eco-driving" style to set the record, but there are no special technologies that ordinary drivers can use, The News Wheel reported.
A completely zero-emissions car can cover 623 miles after 5 minutes of filling, which is one reason Toyota is less enthusiastic about battery electric cars than hydrogen fuel cell technology.
However, electric cars will need a 30-minute recharge break on long trips.
Automobile fuel stations
The Toyota Mirai is one of the most financially and technologically consumer-friendly cars, and one of two hydrogen-fuelled cars available in Britain.
The Toyota Mirai faces many challenges, most notably the lack of sufficient hydrogen fuel stations for the car. Through the Google search engine, there are only 8 stations for hydrogen fueling cars in Britain, while other sources indicate that there are 14 stations across the country.
Comparing hydrogen-fueled and electric cars, the first needs only minutes to get fuel like other gasoline-powered cars, while the second may take more than 20 minutes, and it can reach hours.
And the infrastructure for an electric car charging station is very poor in Britain, with the exception of Tesla's Supercharge app.
