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 need to call `driven_by` in your specs.

This can either be done manually in the spec files themselves or
you can use the configuration helpers to do this for every system spec,
for example by adding the following to `spec/rails_helper.rb`:

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

System specs run in a transaction. So unlike feature specs with
javascript, you do not need [DatabaseCleaner](https://github.com/DatabaseCleaner/database_cleaner).
