    In a way. To "drive" or "pilot" something movable, is to be in some degree of control over the movement, speed and destination of the movable object. So, in the purest sense, you are not only the driver (or "pilot") but you are simultaneously the passenger or rider.

    Those not directly involved in the steering and/or speed of the object are mere passengers, because they exercise no control over the speed or direction of the object.
