You can use webdriver_manager to directly download and launch the driver without providing the path.
You can install by using webdriver_manager by using pip3 install webdriver_manager
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=ChromeDriverManager().install())
driver.get("Your URL")
