I agree. Natural gas vehicles have been around for more than 20 years. When I had a Government job, I drove a Government owned car that used both natural gas and gasoline. When you ran out of natural gas, you pushed a button and switched to the gasoline tank and kept driving. I don't know why they haven't become popular.
