駕駛: **drive**; **pilot** (used to describe operating man-made transportation, for example, driving a car, or piloting a plane/ ship. We ride a horse, not driving it because a horse is not a man-made machine)

駕馭: **control**; **keep under control** (mostly used in the metaphorical sense, describe controlling something natural like people, a river, or horses)

Example:

共和黨無法駕馭川普 (The Republican Party cannot control Trump)

以水壩駕馭長江 (Controlling the Yangtze River with Dams)

駕馭馬匹是一門技能; 駕馭下屬是一門藝術 (Control horses is a skill; control underlings is an art)
