"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.

Perhaps you live in one of those states that are a bit more free. In CA any use of handheld phones is illegal [nolo.com]. My Bluetooth speakerphone thingy (BlueAnt S4 [myblueant.com]) supports voice commands for all phone operations, including dialing a number.
TFA says laws are being proposed
When you hear passive voice, become suspicious. Nothing happens on its own. It would be too much to believe that the laws that are essential to Google just formed themselves out of thin air, entirely randomly, and that Google has nothing to do with that.

It doesn't matter where I live, the point is that your blanket statement is actually a minority opinion. At the very least there is significant doubt.
I always like when the person on the other side of a debate is reduced to conspiracy theories, it is a face-saving admission of having been wrong. If you actually RTFA you'd see that in most of the states where these laws are being proposed, google hasn't even gotten involved. Unless of course the people proposing the laws are lying about not having heard from google. Hey, they didn't deny that aliens had asked them to write the laws, so that's on the table too. BTW, no passive voice in TFA either.
