how the hell do graphics card drivers work?

How the hell do they will work? What do they do? Why do I need to update them for certain games or applications to work? I like to think I know a decent amount about personal computers but I have no idea. There was a game on my computer that wouldn’t play when I opened it and the game would crash every time. I updated my drivers and it ran with no issue. The game never had any updates and I never changed any parts of my computer why did the game randomly stop working with no changes? Why does updating drivers work to fix it and what do they do?

I like to say it’s like a taxi driver in NY, who knows every way to take, traffic, bridges, all that stuff. When u install the driver, the hardware knows how to get around more efficiently, without ending up down a blind alley.

That’s a way to understand it, at least.
