public class ChromeDriver
extends RemoteWebDriver
implements org.openqa.selenium.html5.LocationContext, org.openqa.selenium.html5.WebStorage

A WebDriver implementation that controls a Chrome browser running on the local machine. This class is provided as a convenience for easily testing the Chrome browser. The control server which each instance communicates with will live and die with the instance.

To avoid unnecessarily restarting the ChromeDriver server with each instance, use a RemoteWebDriver coupled with the desired ChromeDriverService, which is managed separately. For example:

import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals;
 
 import org.junit.*;
 import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
 import org.junit.runners.JUnit4;
 import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriverService;
 import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
 import org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver;
 
 {@literal @RunWith(JUnit4.class)}
 public class ChromeTest extends TestCase {
 
   private static ChromeDriverService service;
   private WebDriver driver;
 
   {@literal @BeforeClass}
   public static void createAndStartService() {
     service = new ChromeDriverService.Builder()
         .usingDriverExecutable(new File("path/to/my/chromedriver.exe"))
         .usingAnyFreePort()
         .build();
     service.start();
   }
 
   {@literal @AfterClass}
   public static void createAndStopService() {
     service.stop();
   }
 
   {@literal @Before}
   public void createDriver() {
     driver = new RemoteWebDriver(service.getUrl(),
         DesiredCapabilities.chrome());
   }
 
   {@literal @After}
   public void quitDriver() {
     driver.quit();
   }
 
   {@literal @Test}
   public void testGoogleSearch() {
     driver.get("http://www.google.com");
     WebElement searchBox = driver.findElement(By.name("q"));
     searchBox.sendKeys("webdriver");
     searchBox.quit();
     assertEquals("webdriver - Google Search", driver.getTitle());
   }
 }
 

Note that unlike ChromeDriver, RemoteWebDriver doesn't directly implement role interfaces such as LocationContext and WebStorage. Therefore, to access that functionality, it needs to be augmented and then cast to the appropriate interface.
