 This is the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC F-Cell.

 It's slated to hit US dealerships by the end of 2019.

the F-Cell differs from the GLC in one big way: It runs on hydrogen.

But thanks to a sizable battery pack, it can drive a decent ways on only electricity.

Then you can drive up to 30 miles, even if you're a long ways away from the nearest hydrogen station.

Otherwise, the car looks to be generally unaffected by the change.

 It should be just as practical as it was before.

Though likely quite a bit more expensive... exactly how much remains to be seen.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
