Results: Driving while wearing Google Glass?
Gary G. Howell-A West Virginia state representative recently introduced a bill that would make it illegal to use a “wearable computer with mounted display” while operating a moving vehicle. Although not mentioned directly within the legislation, many are speculating that this bill is directed towards Google Glass. Google Glass is a headset that looks like a pair of eyeglasses and allows individuals to search results, check e-mails etc. The device is operated by voice command.
