Bingo! Between the inevitable s/w bugs in the systems, the variables that the s/w programmers didn't factor into their logic, the fact that electronics CAN and DO fail, I don't think we'll get to a point where you could trust a mass-produced product like an automobile containing the complexity of an airplane to hold up in everyday driving conditions. I think about my 1980 vintage Ford tractor with a diesel engine. All it needs to run electrically is a starter. Once it's running, no electrical problem will stop it. Can't get much simpler than that. And it's been working for almost 40 years. What about a 10 yr old driverless car?

It's designed by and for the lazy millenials, IMO.

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
