To be fair he used steam to develop a production line, streamlining manufacturing. Then he used electricity. He didn't really invent anything, just refined an existing process.
Up to a point, this is true of Tesla as well.
Hydrogen safety is a bit muddied. If a tank is punctured it evaporates faster than it can explode. Toyota have been testing their tanks with armour piercing bullets and when they do eventually puncture, nothing happens.

Military tech and hacking have to be factored in.
There is a vid of a Tesla being hacked and driven around a car park in Israel and the driver cannot do a thing about it. Same thing with other manufacturers.
