A system and method for detecting driver impairment uses a combination of on-board sensors and cameras together with sensors and cameras from devices such as cell phones and smart watches. A central-processing unit storing an application receives data from the sensors, cameras and personal electronic devices. The application processes this data to detect signs of impairment and to initiate appropriate safety actions.
