3. Selenium automates browsers.That's it!What you do with
that power is entirely up to you.
Selenium has the support of some of the largest browser
vendors who have taken (or are taking) steps to make
Selenium a native part of their browser. It is also the core
technology in countless other browser automation tools,APIs
and frameworks.

6. WebDriver is designed in a simpler and more concise
programming interface along with addressing some
limitations in the Selenium-RC API.
WebDriver is a compact Object Oriented API when
compared to Selenium1.0
It drives the browser much more effectively and overcomes
the limitations of Selenium 1.x which affected our functional
test coverage, like the file upload or download, pop-ups and
dialogs barrier
