H Honda ανέπτυξε ένα αυτόνομο Clarity Fuel Cell. Το αυτόνομο υδρογονοκίνητο αυτοκίνητο είναι μέρος της προσπάθειας της Honda ώστε να προσφέρει αυτόνομα αυτοκίνητα μέχρι το τέλος της δεκαετίας.
Διαθέτει συστήματα ραντάρ, κάμερες, λέιζερ και σύμφωνα με την ιαπωνική εταιρία, το αυτοκίνητο μπορεί να κινηθεί πλήρως αυτόνομα μόνο σε αυτοκινητόδρομους. Τεχνικά δεν υπάρχουν αλλαγές και έτσι το υδρογονοκίνητο sedan, έχει μήκος 4.895 χιλιοστά, πλάτος 1.875 και ύψος 1.475 χιλιοστά και μπορεί να φιλοξενήσει έως και 5 άτομα χάρη στην δουλειά που έχει γίνει από τους μηχανικούς της Honda στην μείωση των διαστάσεων του powertrain.
Οι κυψέλες υδρογόνου, έχουν κατά 33% μικρότερο μέγεθος σε σύγκριση με αυτές του FCX Clarity ενώ η πυκνότητα ισχύος έχει αυξηθεί κατά 60%, φτάνοντας πλέον τα 3,1 kW/L. Αυτό σημαίνει ότι η ιπποδύναμη του Clarity Fuel Cell είναι 177 άλογα. Επίσης, χάρη στην δεξαμενή υδρογόνου υψηλής πίεσης 141 λίτρων, το μοντέλο έχει αυτονομία 750 χιλιομέτρων στον αυστηρό JC08 κύκλο δοκιμών. Όταν εξαντληθεί το υδρογόνο στη δεξαμενή, ο ανεφοδιασμός διαρκεί περίπου 3 με 5 λεπτά.
