These inputs include vehicle data received from one or more other vehicles proximate the first vehicle, historical data traffic condition information, predictive data regarding future traffic conditions, history data of a current driver of the first vehicle, current vehicle condition data, and current reaction of the current driver. Based upon the plurality of inputs, a recommended safe speed limit for the current driver is determined, and the determined recommended safe speed limit is presented to the current driver. The recommended safe speed limit is a calculated maximum speed, in real time, that the current driver should be driving. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A computer-implemented method, comprising: receiving a plurality of inputs related to vehicle safe speed data for a first vehicle and including: vehicle data received from one or more other vehicles proximate the first vehicle, historical data traffic condition information, predictive data regarding future traffic conditions, history data of a current driver of the first vehicle, current vehicle condition data, and current reaction of the current driver; determining, based upon the plurality of inputs, a recommended safe speed limit for the current driver; and presenting, to the current driver, the determined recommended safe speed limit, wherein the recommended safe speed limit is a calculated maximum speed, in real time, that the current driver should be driving. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein a safety message, separate from the determined safe speed limit, is communicated to a communication device associated with a recipient of the safety message. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, wherein the recipient of the safety message includes a non-driver of the first vehicle. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The method of claim 3, wherein the safety message is communicated based upon a received message preference of the recipient of the safety message, and the received message preference identifies a contemporaneous road condition that will prompt communication of the safety message. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The method of claim 3, wherein the non-driver of the first vehicle is not an occupant of the first vehicle. ### Claim 6 (depends on 3) The method of claim 3, wherein the non-driver of the first vehicle is an occupant of the first vehicle. ### Claim 7 (depends on 3) The method of claim 3, wherein the safety message is communicated based upon the first vehicle exceeding the recommended safe speed limit for a predetermined amount of time. ### Claim 8 (depends on 3) The method of claim 3, wherein the safety message is communicated based upon a current average reaction time of the current driver exceeding a predetermined threshold. ### Claim 9 A computer hardware system, comprising: a hardware processor configured to initiate the following executable operations: receiving a plurality of inputs related to vehicle safe speed data for a first vehicle and including: vehicle data received from one or more other vehicles proximate the first vehicle, historical data traffic condition information, predictive data regarding future traffic conditions, history data of a current driver of the first vehicle, current vehicle condition data, and current reaction of the current driver; determining, based upon the plurality of inputs, a recommended safe speed limit for the current driver; and presenting, to the current driver, the determined recommended safe speed limit, wherein the recommended safe speed limit is a calculated maximum speed, in real time, that the current driver should be driving. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein a safety message, separate from the determined safe speed limit, is communicated to a communication device associated with a recipient of the safety message. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The system of claim 10, wherein the recipient of the safety message includes a non-driver of the first vehicle. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the safety message is communicated based upon a received message preference of the recipient of the safety message, and the received message preference identifies a contemporaneous road condition that will prompt communication of the safety message. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the non-driver of the first vehicle is not an occupant of the first vehicle. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the non-driver of the first vehicle is an occupant of the first vehicle. ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the safety message is communicated based upon the first vehicle exceeding the recommended safe speed limit for a predetermined amount of time. ### Claim 16 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the safety message is communicated based upon a current average reaction time of the current driver exceeding a predetermined threshold. ### Claim 17 A computer program product, comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having program code stored therein, the program code, which when executed by a computer hardware system, causes the computer hardware system to perform: receiving a plurality of inputs related to vehicle safe speed data for a first vehicle and including: vehicle data received from one or more other vehicles proximate the first vehicle, historical data traffic condition information, predictive data regarding future traffic conditions, history data of a current driver of the first vehicle, current vehicle condition data, and current reaction of the current driver; determining, based upon the plurality of inputs, a recommended safe speed limit for the current driver; and presenting, to the current driver, the determined recommended safe speed limit, wherein the recommended safe speed limit is a calculated maximum speed, in real time, that the current driver should be driving. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The computer program product of claim 17, wherein a safety message, separate from the determined safe speed limit, is communicated to a communication device associated with a recipient of the safety message. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The computer program product of claim 18, wherein the recipient of the safety message includes a non-driver of the first vehicle. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The computer program product of claim 19, wherein the safety message is communicated based upon a received message preference of the recipient of the safety message, and the received message preference identifies a contemporaneous road condition that will prompt communication of the safety message.
