Google Glass Could Be Subject to Texting-While-Driving Laws
Google Glass fans excited about the prospect of using the technology while cruising about in their car might have a roadblock ahead: An extension of texting-while-driving laws to cover the yet-unreleased Glass device.
Gary G. Howell, a Republican member of the West Virginia legislature, has introduced a bill that would amend a state law forbidding texting-while-driving to also prohibit "using a wearable computer with head mounted display." That language is aimed pretty much right at Google Glass.
Howell's no Luddite — he told CNET's that he's a fan of Google Glass in general. However, he sees his bill as an "extension" of texting-while-driving laws aimed at protecting young new drivers and those around them.
