I can understand the 'fording depth' is the distance or depth to the top of the windshield. It's obvious from the video that the vehicles can still function at that depth. But how would the driver know where he is going if his vision through the windshield is totally obscured? I didn't see a periscope or similar device.

Each vehicle was driven quite a distance with water entirely covering the windshields. It appeared the crews were driving blind. The guys on the RR overpass certainly weren't spotting for them!
