The Blender manual describes drivers thusly:

Drivers are a way to control values of properties by means of a function, or a mathematical expression.

Effectively, drivers consist of:

  • A driver configuration that specifies zero, one, or more input values using other properties or object transformation channels, and combines them using a predefined mathematical function or a custom Python expression.

  • An animation F-Curve that maps the output of the driver configuration to the final value to apply to the driven property.
