Google Glass hasn’t been released to the public as yet, though it is expected to some time later this year. For over a year now this wearable gadget has been in what’s called an “Explorer Program,” whereby select individuals are invited to purchase a unit for $1,500. There have already been some run ins with the law, a woman in California was ticketed for using Glass while driving, she fought the ticket claiming that it wasn’t actually being used and that she was merely wearing it, the argument held up in court. As many as eight states in the U.S. are considering legislation that would ban drivers from having Google Glass on when they’re on the road. Reuters reports that Google is lobbying officials in at least three states to stop similar legislation from going through.
