"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.

    Well, no, distracted driving laws DON'T cover this, not if Google gets its way.
    (Did you forget what the topic is about?)

    If you have your phone in your hand its easy to decide you are distracted.
    But no one can tell what you are watching on Glass.
    So if distracted driving is what you are going with, then apparently you'd be fine with Glass being banned for drivers?
