Definition
驱动 means 'to drive' in a broad sense — it can refer to driving a vehicle or machine (like 驾驶 but more technical), or to motivating people and processes (like 带动 for economic growth). Unlike 驾驶, which is specifically about piloting a vehicle, 驱动 is used for abstract forces (curiosity, electricity, economic factors) and is common in computing (device driver).
