California, US - A woman issued with a traffic ticket for driving while wearing Google Glass has had her case dropped in California. Cecilia Abadie was pulled over and given a ticket for speeding and wearing the smart spectacles while driving on 30 October. A San Diego court commissioner ruled Thursday he had found no proof the device was operating at the time. She was cited for breaking a California law barring motorists from watching TV while driving. After the ruling, Ms Abadie, who develops Web and mobile applications, said the glasses do not give drivers any "blind spots".
"I believe we have to start experimenting with devices like this," Ms Abadie told reporters. "A hands-free device is safer than a cell phone." She was one of an estimated 30,000 people initially selected to try the device before it becomes widely available this year. (FA)
