Hi @Vaibhav Varade

Edge WebDriver is not available with Edge installation or feature on demand. But if you mean don't want to manually download Edge WebDriver everytime when automating Edge, I know a Python library Webdriver Manager.

Webdriver Manager provides the way to automatically manage drivers for different browsers. With Webdriver Manager, we don't need to download drivers and set path to the driver. We only need to install the library then use it directly.

Install manager:

pip install webdriver-manager  

Use with Edge:

from selenium import webdriver  
from webdriver_manager.microsoft import EdgeChromiumDriverManager  
  
driver = webdriver.Edge(EdgeChromiumDriverManager().install())  
driver.get("https://www.google.com")
