This is actually true for some types of USB devices. I.e., USB has a 
mechanism whereby it can provide the driver to the machine when you plug 
it in. (I think the driver gets presented as files on a "removable disk" 
interface, which the OS is supposed to recognise and install and restart 
the USB device afterwards.)
