A method and system for providing a predicted driving condition to an electronic device associated with a current vehicle having a current vehicle characteristic. The method is executable on a server and comprises receiving an indication of the current vehicle approaching a road segment and the current vehicle characteristic; identifying a preceding vehicle which has a time of travel along the road segment before a current time, a time difference between the preceding vehicle time of travel and the current time being within a predetermined range, the preceding vehicle having a preceding vehicle characteristic; determining the predicted driving condition for the road segment, the predicted driving condition being based on the current vehicle characteristic and the preceding vehicle characteristic; and providing to the electronic device before the current vehicle reaches the road segment, the predicted driving condition for the current vehicle on the road segment.

The method of claim 5, wherein each dataset has a time stamp representing a time when the given vehicle had traveled along the road segment, the machine-learning algorithm having been trained on datasets obtained within an acceptable predetermined time range of the time stamp relative to the current time. 7. The method of claim 5, wherein the plurality of datasets are from a plurality of vehicles traveling along a plurality of different road segments, each dataset including a geolocation of each one of the plurality of different road segments. 8. The method of claim 5, wherein at least one of the plurality of datasets includes at least one of: a training road condition of the road segment whilst the given training vehicle was traveling along the road segment, a training weather condition at the road segment whilst the given training vehicle was traveling along the road segment. 9. The method of claim 5, wherein the training input also includes a weighting of a plurality of training vehicle characteristic parameters of the training vehicle characteristic and/or a weighting of a plurality of training vehicle performance parameters of the training vehicle performance. 10.
