1. A method for providing real-time feedback to a vehicle driver, comprising:
- collecting a set of metrics for a vehicle from an on-board unit installed on the vehicle, the collecting further comprising downloading to the on-board unit a set of historical metrics comprising historical vehicle metrics from the vehicle and historical driver metrics for the vehicle driver wherein the collecting occurs as the vehicle is being operated on a known route and the historical metrics were obtained on the known route;
categorizing each metric of the set of metrics into one of a set of discrete performance categories, using the set of historical metrics; and
presenting sensory feedback to a vehicle driver corresponding to said one of a set of discrete performance category, as the vehicle is being operated by the vehicle driver, wherein the presenting occurs as the vehicle is being operated on a known route and the historical metrics were obtained on the known route;
wherein the sensory feedback is provided by a feedback interface including a light cluster providing visual feedback and a tactile feedback provider providing vibrations on a pedal and a steering wheel of the vehicle.
