Hydraulics is the term we apply to engineering compressed liquids. The industry frequently applies the term fluid power to hydraulics, though it is a bit of a misnomer as fluids include gases. Gases are compressible, while liquids are largely incompressible. In hydraulics, some sort of pump or compressor will pressurize the liquid (which is quite often hydraulic fluid) to add energy to it so that the fluid can be used to operate rams or drive fluid powered motors. The trash trucks that dump those big containers use hydraulic power, as do the big cement mixers, which use it turn the mixing container to keep the concrete in motion. Wikipedia has a nice article on hydraulics, and a link to their post is provided. You'll find that link below.

Why would your car just die when it rains really hard?

Sounds like water is getting in somewhere. A modern car usually has a brain, the ECU module. They are usually in the kick panels either side of the front footwells, or under the front seats or floor. This would be a prime suspect for ingress of water. If water shorts the terminals, it will show it's displeasure by giving up. I assume from your question, that the system recovers when dry. This would rule out permanent damage, by water entering the cylinders and causing 'hydraulicing'. Which is a bit more serious.
