You wouldn't want the water to hydrogen plant inside the car but a hydrogen powered car would operate fine from an engineering perspective.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_vehicle
You forgot to read the section on hydrogen storage, infrastructure and safety problems.
But I guess you are correct that we are from an engineering perspective able to make hydrogen powered cars but I would argue that combustion is not a good solution to transportation when proper infrastructure would be able to do without those risks.
Sure if you want a range of <150km and to need a complete teardown and engineer-certified replacement of the fuelling system every 5 years for safety.
