It would have to move VERY slowly, and use sunlight as it's main provider of energy.

Only if you first expend the energy needed to electrolyze the water into hydrogen and oxygen. It's not hard to run a car engine on hydrogen. Storage of the hydrogen is a problem that doesn't really have a fully satisfactory solution.

You can separate water by electolysis into hydrogen and oxygen, which requires energy, and run a car by combusting them, which releases energy, so hydrogen is more an energy storer.
The product is water again.

theoretically if it could change h2o to 2molecules of hydrogen and 1 of oxygen it could burn the hydrogen as fuel and exhaust the oxygen

Yeah...it'd be weird, but it's possible...chances are the oil tycoons won't let that happen...at least not until the oil runs out.

there is something like that in fact, but the cost will not be feasible. when they discover how to make it cheaper and faster, it will be the discovery of the century.

There are cars that run on water.
