A car driver has to answer in the U.S. because of wearing a Google Glasses whilst driving. The 44-year-old Cecilia Abadie on Tuesday pleaded not guilty in court, because the glasses had been turned off while driving. "The Google Glasses to wear while she is not turned on, is not illegal" said her attorney W. Concidine. The process is considered to be the first such procedure in the context of high-tech wireless glasses of the Internet company Google.

The woman had been arrested in late October at excessive speed on a highway in San Diego. She is accused of, among other things, to have been distracted by the use of Internet-enabled glasses. The traffic law forbids it to have a television or video screen in view while driving. However, it is unclear whether this also applies to the Google Goggles, which was not even invented when the law was written, argued Concidine .

The Google Glasses are equipped with small cameras and displays and can be operated from its support by voice control. Thus, for example road maps, weather information or videos show the field of view . So far, only a few copies of the glasses were distributed to selected subjects. Google adheres to the time of launch still covered. According to rumors it could but already the beginning of 2014 so far.
