The creation of drivers happen where most people are never aware of, much less get to see or hear about. They happen within the labs at the companies that develop the corresponding hardware in question. When the hardware is designed, it has prototype software, a demo driver of sorts, running in order to keep everything copacetic.

After development is finished, the real driver is then developed to accompany the final version of the product prototype and from that point on, online drivers scanner do most of the work in allowing the customers to download newer versions and updated renditions of the driver automatically.
