Google Lobbies States to Stop Anti-Glass Driving Laws

Reuters is reporting that Google is lobbying in at least three states -- Illinois, Delaware, and Missouri -- to cool the nerves of legislators.

It seems the thrust of Google's argument is: "What's the panic? They're not even widely available to the public yet."

To this, Illinois state Senator Ira Silverstein told Reuters that it's clear Glass is supposed to make the whole world goggle with glee as soon as possible, adding: "Who are they fooling?"

I don't want to drive down a road with other motorists who may be checking their facebook or twitter pages. It's simple common sense.

"What's the panic? They're not even widely available to the public yet."

I think that's the point. The best way to stop something undesirable is not to let it start.
