Google Glasses while driving
may become legal in the UK
A
number of states in the
US are in the process of making the use of
Google Glass while Driving
illegal, and we previously
heard that the UK Govern-
ment were looking to ban
the use of Google Glass in
the UK.
It would appear that the
UK Government has had a
change of heart about al-
lowing users to use Google
Glass in their cars here in
the UK.
According to a recent report by the Sunday Times,
the UK’s Department of
Transport has been in talks
with Google about the use
of Google Glass in vehicles.
The Department of
Transport told the Sunday
Times that “We have met
with Google to discuss the
implications of the current
law for Google Glass,” it
said. “Google are anxious
their products do not pose
a road safety risk and are
currently considering options to allow the technology to be used in accordance
with the law.”
