Several of the browser drivers require explicit specification of the path to the driver binary. If this path is unspecified, the driver will fail with an error indicating the omission. It would be extremely easy for Selenium Foundation to check the associated System property and make an attempt to provide a value if it's unspecified.
This would be accomplished via the BinaryFinder.findBinary() method. This scans the PATH to determine if the specified executable can be found. If the search is successful, store the returned value in the driver-specific binary path property.
