This notes chromedriver was added to node_modules on June 19 (before v8.1 release)

frappe@erpnext:~/frappe-bench$ find . -name *.json | xargs grep chromedriver
./package.json: “chromedriver”: “^2.30.1”,
./apps/frappe/package.json: “chromedriver”: “^2.30.1”,

The update completed without errors after a nodejs (7.10?) reinstall as noted here
