An off-road vehicle drives on water

 

? Is driving on water just a form of aquaplaning, that is, sliding until the vehicle comes to a stop and sinks?

No, the vehicle is actively moving forward. The propulsion generates the plume of water flying out at the back. Good drivers can travel the length of a football field and more.
