chauffeurless
Lacking hired driver
Chauffeurless means without a chauffeur—a driver employed to transport someone.
The word appears in discussions of self-driving vehicles, where the absence of a human driver is the point: chauffeurless cars, chauffeurless taxis.
It can also describe simply not having hired a driver: We arrived chauffeurless and had to find parking ourselves.
