"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.

I'm not a robot like you. I don't like having disks crammed into me... unless they're Oreos, and then only in the mouth.

The latest breathalyzers work for pot and amphetamines too.

Except they can't test for intoxication, they get positive results a day or more after use and it is just research-lab level results, not actual breathalyzers. [iop.org]
And then there is drowsy driving. [ncsl.org]

Okay, "breathalyzer" was a generalization. They DO have instantaneous roadside testing though, using a saliva swab.
As for intoxication. if they detect pot in your system they can compel a blood/piss test (generally, jurisdiction dependant) and thus prove intoxication. If they can measure MDMA in your system AT ALL you still are under the influence of it, the drug is metabolised faster than the effect wears off.

I would like to see the information you base that claim on, because it appears to be untrue: [expertpages.com]
"Both the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the National Institute on Drug Abuse have stated that marijuana impairment testing via blood sampling is unreliable. This determination is based on the lack of a reliable metric, and thus the inability to accurately quantitatively determine marijuana impairment."
