Description

Starting from the Selenium version 4.6 there is a Selenium Manager tool which is designed to remove the burden of manual browser/chromedriver management from developers. They state that major language bindings already use this Selenium Manager tool under the hood to automatically download the chromedriver corresponding to installed browser version:

> As of version 4.6. 0, all releases of Selenium (Java, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, and . Net) are shipped with Selenium Manager.

Are there any plans to utilize this in Dart binding?

Additional motivation to utilize this except for the evident convenience is that the v114 chromedriver is the last version that is available directly for download on the chrowedriver downloads page. All further versions are available fro programmatic download via the JSON API. If I understand correctly the Selenium Manager tool uses this JSON API.

Overall, could you comment if we can enjoy all these advances with Dart binding?
