I have a 2002 Prius and ran out of gas. The car gave several warning lights, shuddered from the loss of power, then the computer switched to full battery power. I drive it another 3 miles at 60 mph to a gas station. After filling the tank, the warning lights went away and the car has had no ill effects from the experience.

Can a hybrid car idle on the battery and keep the AC running?
The Toyota Prius has electric AC, the gasoline engine will only run at idle with the ac when the battery drops below 50 %. The power steering is also electric. The same is also true for the Ford Escape hybrid. When you run the air conditioning, the gas engine will run until the a/c is fully charged then it will run off battery power. The downside of this is that you are deep cycling the batteries and shortening the life.
Does a Toyota pruis run on hydrogen energy?
No hydrogen is not available widely enough and is unstable. The Prius is a hybrid meaning it uses both gas and electricity. It gets electricity from breaking, which then goes back into powering the car. It's pretty cool stuff. The only car that is currently being looked at for production is the Honda FCX.
What are other Hybrid Cars besides the Toyota Prius?
Lexus RX500h, Ford Escape, Honda CR-Z, Toyota Camry, Honda Insight, the Toyota Highlander hybrid, Honda Civic hybrid, Chevrolet Silverado hybrid, GMC Yukon hybrid, and GMC Sierra hybrid. See the sources and related links below. The Chevy Volt will soon be here. Should give the Prius a run for its money both in terms of max efficiency (MPGs) and also price (Around $30k after the big government credit). Finally a decent alternative to the Prius, since everyone knows the Honda Insight is mostly rubbish compared to the Prius (fit and finish, driving dynamics, efficiency, etc.)

If involved in an accident while driving a brand new Toyota Prius at 40MPH should the airbag have deployed and how can you tell if the battery or electrical system was damaged?
I think it would depend on the type of accident and direction of the force. Any Toyota dealer should be able to run diagnostics on the vehicle for you.
