RSpec **does not** use your `ApplicationSystemTestCase` helper. Instead it
uses the default `driven_by(:selenium)` from Rails. If you want to override
this behaviour you can call `driven_by` manually in a test.
this behaviour you can call `driven_by` manually in a test. Alternatively,
if you want to specify a default driver for all system specs (rather than
using `driven_by` in every spec), add the following to `spec/rails_helper.rb`:

```
config.before(type: :system) do
driven_by :selenium_headless # Or your preferred default driver
end
```

System specs run in a transaction. So unlike feature specs with
