It's been obvious for 5+ years that hydrogen was the wrong tech though, and Toyota just kept stubbornly doubling down on it. I don't really feel sorry for them. There's just so many problems with hydrogen, from distribution to storage, to the more fundamental problem that most hydrogen today is produced from fossil fuels and we don't have a way to efficiently produce it from renewables.
Most large automakers have really been dragging their feet when it comes to electric vehicles. Tesla has had a real and visible impact. Now, years after Dieselgate, VW is pretty openly trying to copy Tesla's plan, bringing battery production in-house, etc. Their new CEO seems to admire Elon Musk. Car companies are doing preorders and trying to model new EV launches after what Tesla is doing, etc.
