Drive With Google Glass: Get a Ticket

mrspoonsi writes "Engadget reports 'California is technology's spiritual home in the US, where Teslas roam free, and Google Glass is already a social norm. Well, unless you're a member of the San Diego law enforcement that is — as one unlucky driver just found out. That commuter was Cecilia Abadie, and she's (rather fittingly) taken to Google+ after being given a ticket for driving while wearing her Explorer Edition.'"

    What is best in life? To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you and to hear the lamentations of their women.

    What punishment could the court possibly inflict that would compare to the shame of wearing them in the first place?

    Even if you account for the increase in speed, planes are still surrounded by mostly nothing when not taking off or landing. Cars, however, are essentially *always* taking off or landing.

    Furthermore, there's only one night out of the year that pilots need to watch out for deer while cruising, and that's not until late December.
