Holy crap, there are bears in your driveway? I don’t know if we even have bears here in germany - at least I never saw one - but if I would see one right in front of my house, I would shit my pants O.o
These are black bears that are pretty harmless. Most people think of them as oversized raccoons. Just don’t sneak up on them or get between a momma bear and her cubs. They will run away if you yell and clap your hands at them.
Most human incidents with them are caused by people trying to protect their pets. Which I can totally see because my 30 lb dog will bark and run right towards them like she can do something to a 300 lb bear. Which is why I keep her on a leash. Especially this time of the year.
We used to have brown bears, but they are pretty much extinct nowadays - until one walks over the border and the press is all over it again (may I remind you of Bruno der Problembär?)

Anyways: Cute! (From the distance)
Bears are pretty common in some areas of North America. We don’t even have black bears in Europe at all, only brown ones which are more dangerous.
