Google glass risks drivers.

• The first scientific study of driving while texting with Google Glass found that the hands-free eyewear is no safer to use on the road than a smartphone.

• "When you look at how fast people react to an unexpected traffic event – how fast they slam on their brakes, we didn’t find a statistically significant difference between Google Glass and smartphones"said psychological researcher Ben Sawyer at the University of Central Florida.

• That, he said, is critical for certain drivers whose safety can depend on information obtained on the road, including military and emergency personnel.
