1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

  • at a central server, acquiring electronic sensor data from a motor vehicle located remote from the central server;

    identifying a driver of the motor vehicle;

    storing the acquired sensor data in association with the identified driver in a database coupled to the central server;

    repeating the acquiring, identifying and storing steps so as to accumulate the electronic sensor data in the database over a selected period of time;

    at the central server, analyzing the accumulated electronic sensor data for the identified vehicle driver so as to form a driver profile associated with the identified vehicle driver;

    storing the driver profile in a central server database of plural driver profiles;

    acquiring new electronic sensor data from the motor vehicle during operation by the identified vehicle driver;

    at the central server, comparing the new electronic sensor data to the stored driver profile to detect a deviation from the profile that may indicate driver impairment; and

    generating a message at the central server about the driver impairment based on the comparison.
