Well , it was reverberate to happen . A Google Glass - wearer was ticket in San Diego last night for “ drive with a monitoring equipment seeable ” — the same law that prevents people from watching TV in their cars . But there are exceptions for GPS and orbiter radio devices , so we ca n’t help oneself but marvel if the fuzz did the right thing .
Driver Cecilia Abadie was initially rend over for hurrying . But the police officeholder — after noticing her Glass — decide to charge her under aCalifornia lawstating that :
[ a ] person shall not drive a motor vehicle if a television telephone receiver , a video monitor , or a television or video screenland , or any other interchangeable mean of visually displaying a tv set program or video signal that produces entertainment or stage business app , is operating and is situate in the motor fomite at a stage forwards of the back of the driver ’s stern , or is operating and the varan , filmdom , or show is seeable to the number one wood while driving the motor vehicle . ”
Abadietook to her Google+ account to complain :
And indeed , as Ars Technica ’s Jon Brodkin notes , she may actually have a character :
The California ruler supply elision for video recording equipment if it provides a “ ball-shaped location display ” or “ mapping display . ” Google Glass can of form be used as a GPS . A California driver handbook summarize the rule and its exception by saying , “ Do not drive a vehicle equipped with a telecasting proctor , if the proctor is seeable to the driver and display anything other than vehicle entropy global mapping displays , outside media player ( MP3 ) , or satellite radio selective information . ”
Now , it needs to be said that driving while wearing Glass could be disastrous . Sure , some substance abuser may be responsible and use it for GPS or voice commands . But it ’s also prone to abuse , like browsing the web and watch YouTube videos . Because it ’ll be next to out of the question for police officers to impose , Google Glass will belike be made as illegal as texting and driving is today .
