Drivers are software programs written by a device manufacturer for components (such as a sound or video card) which, when executed, enable the device to communicate with your operating system. Most components come with a driver CD that enable you to install the drivers on your hand drive per the manufacturer's instructions.

In broader terms, like you require a driver to run your vehicle/device, the drivers in computer are required to run software/program/devices in the computer. They give command to device to interact with hardware to act.
A driver is a small piece of software that tells the operating system and other software how to communicate with a piece of hardware
................
In computing, a device driver or software driver is a computer program allowing higher-level computer programs to interact with a hardware device. A driver typically communicates with the device through the computer bus or communications subsystem to which the hardware connects. When a calling program invokes a routine in the driver, the driver issues commands to the device. Once the device sends data back to the driver, the driver may invoke routines in the original calling program. Drivers are hardware-dependent and operating-system-specific. They usually provide the interrupt handling required for any necessary asynchronous time-dependent hardware interface.
