driveless
Without inner motivation
Driveless describes something lacking a drive mechanism or motor, or someone lacking motivation and ambition.
A driveless vehicle has no engine; a driveless person has no initiative: He's been driveless since losing his job.
The word appears occasionally in technical contexts for machinery without powered components, but the figurative sense dominates everyday use.
