I have been using the Edge based on Chromium for a since yesterday morning. Edge now allows you to import your bookmarks and cookies from Chrome. Transitioning to the new version of Edge is easy. Functionally, the two browsers seem similar. When I searched for a method to change the default search engine, several web sites mentioned that it was not possible with the current Edge developer build as of yesterday morning.

The only difference I noticed was that for the Developer build of Edge Chromium, the color scheme is very bland without much contrast.
I ride through this intersection on a regular basis. The intersection is fairly well lit with a park on the right side of the intersection. The news article was not specific as to the exact location where the accident happened. The speed limit is 35 mph on Mill Avenue approximately 100 feet South of the Intersection. The news story shows a picture of a sign "BEGIN RIGHT TURN LANE YIELD TO BIKES. The news story shows the remains of a flare on the ground on the Northbound side of Mill Avenue. There is a nice wide sidewalk in the center of the road with a sign with a no crossing symbol and "USE CROSSWALK" with an arrow pointing toward the intersection. There is a lot of Pedestrians in the area, and I can see why someone would cross the street to get to the center area which leads to the bar on the other side of the street.
Where I live in Scottsdale, Arizona, I have seen these several self driving vehicles almost every day depending on my route. These vehicles seem fairly common now. I have seen vehicles from several manufacturers and Uber. The vehicles usually have noticeable devices mounted on top of the vehicle.
These vehicles seem fairly common now. I ride a bicycle for approximately 36 miles per day. Most of the route has bicycle lanes. I am usually going slower than motor vehicle traffic except near intersections. On unusual behavior I have seen for these vehicle is for them to slow down to the speed I am riding on a bicycle, fifteen to twenty miles per hour on a road with a thirty five MPH speed limit. I have also seen the self driving vehicles slow down and stop in the middle of the road as I am riding nearby on a bicycle.
The story you linked was from 2014.
If you spend a lot of money designing something and only produce a few vehicles, you are never going to achieve an economy of scale required to be cost competitive.
There are a lot more recent stories showing successful implementation of fuel cells.
Here is a story from a few months ago that is more relevant.
http://money.cnn.com/2017/04/1...https://www.usatoday.com/story...
The U.S. Army has begun testing an extreme off-road version of the Chevrolet Colorado pickup truck powered by a hydrogen fuel cell.
The military and General Motors collaborated to develop the Chevrolet Colorado ZH2 fuel cell electric truck, which could pave the way for a stealthy new mode of military transportation.
Although its tricked-out design is conceptual and would likely not grace the final product, the Colorado ZH2 boasts a silent hydrogen fuel cell powertrain that could give American soldiers an edge in war zones.
The Army is testing the vehicle for noise, detectability, torque, fuel economy and water vapor discharge.
It was developed, assembled and tested at GM sites in Michigan in cooperation with the U.S. Army Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC).
The hydrogen fuel cell on board powers an electric motor that drives the vehicle, building on fuel-cell expertise GM has cultivated for years.
Toyota Puts Fuel-Cell Semi Truck to Test at Los Angeles Port
April 19, 2017
https://www.bloomberg.com/news...
The newest heavy-duty truck set to operate at the Port of Los Angeles emits an unusual byproduct that California could certainly use more of: water.
Toyota Motor Corp.’s hydrogen fuel-cell truck, which will emit nothing but vapor, will begin a feasibility study at the port this summer. The Japanese automaker unveiled the concept Wednesday and will start testing it in short-distance fleets that run back and forth between the city’s docks and nearby warehouses operated by retailing giants.
Swapping internal-combustion engines for fuel-cell stacks will support Governor Jerry Brown’s efforts to cut emissions from freight movement in California. The ports of Long Beach, Los Angeles and Oakland handle 40 percent of U.S. container traffic, with commercial shipments generating half of California’s toxic diesel-soot emissions and 45 percent of the nitrogen oxide that plagues L.A. with the nation’s worst smog.
I believe this is what your looking for.

Increasing the number of convenient hydrogen refueling options is one of the last remaining hurdles to widespread adoption of fuel cell vehicles.
Honda took a proactive approach to this challenge, and our research and development in this area is ongoing.
We have experience in the development of power stations to generate heat and electricity (cogeneration technology), as well as experience with home-refueled electric and natural gas vehicles.
So it was a natural next step for us to leverage that learning to explore potential solutions to the hydrogen refueling dilemma.
The Home Energy Station
Honda has operated an experimental Home Energy Station in Torrance, California, since 2003.
The Home Energy Station, which generates hydrogen from natural gas, is designed to provide heat and electricity for the home through fuel cell cogeneration and to supply fuel for a hydrogen-powered fuel cell electric vehicle.
Honda has worked in cooperation with technology partner Plug Power, Inc., to reduce size and increase convenience in each subsequent generation of the Home Energy Station.
In 2007 Honda developed the still experimental Home Energy Station IV—which is even more efficient and better suited for home use than previous versions.
CO2 emissions for a household using the Home Energy Station are 30% lower than those for an average household using a gasoline-engine car and commercial electricity and heat.
Honda believes in a future society powered by hydrogen, and we are serious about our commitment to contribute to the development of useful refueling solutions.
I live in Scottsdale, and my ten mile one way ride is great. The temperature is frequently over 110 degrees with a low temperature of 85 degrees. If you obey the laws, ride on the correct side of the road, traffic is not a problem. Riding home when it is 115 degrees is a great way to lose weight for a few hours.
Texas has some great warm weather rides http://www.hh100.org/
After a little acclimation, and proper training, riding when it is warm is possible.
Here is a quote from the EETimes article.
"The resultant Bloom Boxes are not inexpensive today— about $750,000 for a unit capable of running a household (about four to six units are needed to run a typical data center). But within five to 10 years the company promises to reduce the price to as little as $3,000"
These fuel cell are not being mass produced yet.
Please read about fuel cells before making any judgments about the technology.

There are many other companies working on similar fuell cells for homes and vehicles that have already been in use for several years.

I hope this isn't another Embrace Extend Extinguish attempt.

The problem with your logic is that writing code is fun. Changing bedpans or dressings or being around sick people is not fun.
