it was my problem ... the way I did it was to send the pid of the
receiver process to the driver and to transform it into something
readable by the driver_send_term function.

Other thing, sending a pid to a driver gives a BadMatch error ?
(I am working with the example driver of the documentation but now
I send it in a list format).
