1. A method for alerting drivers of hazardous driving conditions, the method comprising the steps of:

collecting real-time data from a driver of a vehicle, wherein the data is collected via a mobile device worn by the driver;

determining whether the real-time data indicates that a hazardous driving condition exists;

providing feedback to the driver if the real-time data indicates that the hazardous driving condition exists;

continuing to collect data from the driver in real-time if the real-time data indicates that the hazardous driving does not exist,

wherein the method further comprises the steps of:

detecting hand deviations of the driver using the real-time data;

determining whether the hand deviations of the driver involve side-to-side hand movements;

estimating speed of the vehicle using the real-time data if the hand deviations of the driver involve side-to-side hand movements;

continuing to collect data from the driver in real-time if the hand deviations of the driver do not involve side-to-side hand movements;

determining whether the speed of the vehicle is higher than an average speed for a roadway on which the vehicle is travelling;

providing the feedback to the driver if the speed of the vehicle is higher than the average speed for the roadway on which the vehicle is travelling; and

continuing to collect data from the driver in real-time if the speed of the vehicle is not higher than an average speed for a roadway on which the vehicle is travelling.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of:

using the real-time data to learn characteristics of the driver.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising the step of:

comparing the real-time data to the characteristics of the driver to determine whether the real-time data indicates that the hazardous driving condition exists.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the feedback is provided to the driver via the mobile device worn by the driver.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the feedback is provided as an audible alert message to the driver via the mobile device worn by the driver.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the feedback is provided as an audible alert message to the driver via an audio system of the vehicle.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of:

tracking feedback provided to the driver.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the real-time data collected from the user comprises physiological data for the user selected from the group consisting of: skin electrical characteristics, blood oxygen levels, heart rate, pulse, and combinations thereof.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the real-time data collected from the user comprises trajectory data for the user selected from the group consisting of: movement, speed, direction, orientation, location, and combinations thereof.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the real-time data collected from the user comprises environmental data selected from the group consisting of: air pressure, temperature, wind velocity, and combinations thereof.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mobile device worn by the user comprises at least one sensor selected from the group consisting of: an electrodermal activity (EDA) sensor, a pulse oximeter sensor, a heart rate sensor, and combinations thereof.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mobile device worn by the user comprises at least one sensor selected from the group consisting of: a gyroscope sensor, a global positioning system (GPS) sensor, and combinations thereof.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mobile device worn by the user comprises at least one sensor selected from the group consisting of: a barometer, an air temperature sensor, a wind speed sensor, and combinations thereof.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mobile device worn by the user comprises a smartwatch.
