> people will end up looking on movies instead of the road all the time Have you used Glass? It hardly seems likely people are going to use it for watching movies on while driving - the screen is really small and in one corner of your vision.

The point is that is a possible distraction. You can only really thoroughly process 2-3 inputs per second. If something on Glass, no matter what, make you focus on it, you're down to 1-2 things, which might very well be the difference between a deadly accident and no accident.

I'm sure a lot of users would be able to ignore Glass when needed, but the majority wouldn't and that's why they're making laws.
