Has anyone ever created a hydrogen powered car? Wouldn’t this help the environment?

If we had hydrogen powered vehicles, couldn’t we use seawater to obtain an endless supply of hydrogen and wouldn’t it be cleaner?
Also the only biproduct would be fresh water and salt. Could this plant also produce drinking water for places that need it?
Couldn’t the production plant be powered also by hydrogen, thus becoming self reliant?
Why aren’t scientist working harder on this issue?
The fresh water – biproduct can be used for drinking and such as well, especially in places like Australia, where we are running out of fresh water, but surrounded by seawater.
