Gene drive is not the same as selective breeding or GMO. Gene drive is not the same as CRISPR. It's not just giving an organism a particular favorable trait and waiting for nature to take its course by spreading that trait throughout the population. Gene drive involves artificially increasing the likelihood of transmission of a gene to offspring. One such theoretical technique (according to my layperson's understanding) is basically to use CRISPR to encode CRISPR into an organism's DNA, in a way that is self-perpetuating. Then the genetic modification will spread through the entire population regardless of whether it improves fitness.
