Answer 1

Please use web driver manager for driver initialization, this library internally taking care of drivers depends upon your OS, Arch and version of chrome.

https://bonigarcia.dev/webdrivermanager/

1. Add the dependency in your pom
2. add the following code in your initialization

WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();
driver = new ChromeDriver();

Answer 2

Please update your chrome selenium driver based on your browser version.
