A comparison with the Hindenburg isn't useful in any case. To put enough hydrogen in a car to get a reasonable number of miles, you need to compress it to 10,000psi. The Hindenburg is basically atmospheric pressure.

10k psi actually makes hydrogen safer (chemically). Consider it a form of positive pressure - there is much less risk of air getting into the tank.

The Hindenburg crew had to regularly test the hydrogen cells for oxygen content.
