"In a somewhat pre-emptive move Google is lobbying against state legislation that would ban drivers from using Google Glass while driving. I, for one, would like to see such legislation passed. There is enough distracted driving due to hand-held cell phones and Google Glass would just be just one more task for the brain to cope with.

    As a passenger offering navigation assistance while carpooling, I find that entirely reasonable.

    I agree. But doesn't that suggest disallowing Glass for drivers? (just askin).

    As a passenger, I end up navigating a lot too, but I just use the phone for that, or turn on Google navigation and let the Google gal call the shots. You don't even have to look at the phone.

    No, you are mistaken. I've always had this sig.
