Definition
开来 is a directional resultative compound verb: 开 (to drive/operate a vehicle) + 来 (toward the speaker) = 'to drive (something) over here'. It is commonly used with vehicle-related objects and often appears in 把 constructions (e.g., 把车开来). Separable forms (like 开出一辆车来) are possible but 开来 itself is a fixed compound for the literal 'drive over' sense.
r.v.
to drive (a vehicle) over/up to a location (toward the speaker)
