Selenium gets JSON error: "Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)"

Question

I'm trying to run selenium webdriver chrome script but getting error

"Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)".

The error occurs when I call webdriver. As I understand it, driver() is really empty before I pass a url to it using the get() method. How can I make json ignore that driver is empty? This happens on the Yandex.Cloud.Functions platform.

from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException
from fake_headers import Headers
import time
import telebot
import datetime
import requests
import pytz

def lambda_handler(event, context):
    # Process event from aws and respond
    process_event(event)
    return {
        'statusCode': 200
    }

options = Options()
options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
options.add_argument("--headless")
options.add_argument('--disable-dev-shm-usage')

header = Headers(
    browser="chrome",  # Generate only Chrome UA
    os="win",  # Generate only Windows platform
    headers=False # generate misc headers
)
customUserAgent = header.generate()['User-Agent']

options.add_argument(f"user-agent={customUserAgent}")


driver = webdriver.Chrome(options = options)
