A number of U.S. states including Wyoming, Illinois and New Jersey, are looking at a ban on wearable computing devices while the user is driving. Among the affected devices is Google Glass.

Wyoming state senator, Floyd Esquibel, drafted the bill, saying that he wanted to ensure safeguards are in place before Google Glass is widely available. “Common sense would tell you that really you don’t need to look at a little computer while driving, that it endangers you, your passengers and other drivers,” Esquibel stated at the introduction of the bill.


A number of other states are also considering introducing a ban on such devices. Those states include Delaware, Illinois, Missouri, New Jersey, New York and West Virginia. The bill itself will be considered in February.
