Make sure you're using a chromedriver that is compatible with your mac version. Then try giving below permission to chromedriver.

chmod 777 chromedriver

After downloading chrome driver from "https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=75.0.3770.140/" for MAC and copy to your mac username folder.

and also try to giving full permission to the chromedriver and it will work fine by following cmd

chmod +x chromedriver

Please note not to give ".exe" extension, In the code you have to write as below:

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/Users/macusernamefolder/chromedriver");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
