I don't know if it exists, but it was definitely worked on. The game was mentioned in the Kee Games Game Needs and Wishes Memo from June 20, 1974.

As an aside, there was a mention of a game called "Driver 1st Person" that was in development in 1974. Night Driver, perhaps? Referenced from Kee Games Projects Memo- 9/18/1974.
