I have tried below code, If you are using chrome browser version 81.0.4044.92 then downgrade your ChromeDriver to 80.0.3987.106 and give a try. This issue occurs due to compability between your browser and chromedriver. I think you are using selenium grid jar[Unable to create new remote session]. you haave to use Latest stable version 3.141.59

I have checked same solution and its working fine for me without any issue.

public class Test {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
 System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver"," path of chromedriver.exe");
 WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
 driver.get("https://www.google.com");
 System.out.println(driver.getTitle());
 }
}
