Some of the questions raised won't be an issue. Like the 3' snow drift. Simple, if there are 3 foot drifts most likely there will be a travel advisory and the car won't move much less try plowing through a 3 foot drift.
But lets look at things first.
1: It will be years before they will be truly operational. You have to make every vehicle be able to communicate with every other vehicle. If they can't communicate they can't anticipate what the other vehicle is doing. So they will be equipped with steering wheels and brake pedals for a long time to come. What is being put out now is experimental only, not production. For a while going to be like a tractor with auto steer and GPS. Still need someone in the operators seat to take over.
2: It's coming! Not tomorrow or the next day. I figure at least 10 years, maybe more.
3: The car not the owner/operator will decide what route and speed to travel based on road condition reports, traffic, time of day ECT. That hour long commute just turned into an hour and a half, maybe 2 hours. No travel advised? You ain't going anywhere! 5 MPH over the posted limit? Forget it. Once people realize this they will fight it.
4: Another factor that will slow it down is it will take the government forcing it and eventually providing tax breaks to get people to switch over to it.

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
