"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.

    If someone driving has a wreck, and they are wearing google glasses at the time of the wreck, and the glasses were active, then maybe the driver was distracted. This would not be any different than any other distraction. Driver should be investigated, presumed innocent, for fault.

    The cost to taxpayers, and to society, for buzzword legislation is more than the cost to print and enforce the law-the cost is the degradation of common sense and laws that actually protect humans from other humans.

      Legislator egomaniacs talking stupid shit.
