1. A method for vehicle control, the method comprising:
receiving, from a computing device associated with a vehicle operated by a driver, kinematic data captured using at least one sensor of the vehicle, the kinematic data characterizing movement of the vehicle over a first time period associated with the driver operating the vehicle;
generating an overall safety score as a weighted average of a driver score, a vehicle score, and an environment score, wherein the driver score is based on at least one aspect of the kinematic data that are indicative of driving behaviors by the driver, wherein the vehicle score is based on at least one aspect of the kinematic data that are indicative of operation of the vehicle, wherein the environment score is based on information about an environment that the vehicle is in, and wherein the weighted average is weighted based on at least one multiplier;
identifying a speed threshold based on a comparison between the overall safety score and a score threshold;
identifying, based on the kinematic data, a first speed of the vehicle;
identifying that the first speed of the vehicle exceeds the speed threshold; and
sending a command to the vehicle to cause an automatic speed reduction in the vehicle from the first speed to a second speed that is lower than the first speed, wherein an amount of the automatic speed reduction is based on the speed threshold.
