This clue might be a double definition.

'motorist's' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'software' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for driver that I've seen before include "Operator of a motor vehicle" , "chauffeuse" , "See 1 down" , "Golf club for long shots" , "Flat-faced golf club" .)
