Howell to sponsor a bill banning such devices while driving in his state of West Virginia. I would expect to see more of these bills introduced in other areas since Google Glass and similar devices are likely to be a distraction for drivers. Howell stated the following:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>&#8220;I actually like the idea of the product and I believe it is the future, but last legislature we worked long and hard on a no-texting-and-driving law. It is mostly the young that are the tech-savvy that try new things. They are also our most vulnerable and underskilled drivers. We heard of many crashes caused by texting and driving, most involving our youngest drivers. I see the Google Glass as an extension.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The interesting thing is Google already has a solution to this&#8230;<a  href=\"http:\/\/www.talkandroid.com\/133594-googles-sergey-brin-thinks-self-driving-cars-for-the-average-person-will-be-available-in-5-years\/\">self driving cars<\/a>. Unfortunately those won&#8217;t be around for another 5 years, while Glass should be available by the end of this year. So Google Glass might not be as <a  href=\"http:\/\/www.talkandroid.com\/155606-sergey-brins-discussion-on-google-glass-at-ted-now-available-video\/\">emasculating as smartphones<\/a>, but it doesn&#8217;t appear to be any less distracting.
