Google-Glass-wearing driver in America beats traffic ticket

A San Diego traffic court has thrown out a summons against a woman who authorities said was driving while wearing the Google Glass computer-in-eyeglass device.

Commissioner John Blair ruled on Thursday that Cecilia Abadie was not guilty because the code she was cited for required proof that the device was in operation.

Blair found there was no proof beyond a reasonable doubt.

Abadie is believed to be the first motorist cited for wearing Google Glass while driving. She was also found not guilty of speeding.

Abadie, a software developer, said she was among some 30,000 people called "explorers" who had been selected to try out Google Glass before the technology become widely available to the public later this year.

The device on a kind of glass-wear frame features a voice-operated thumbnail-size transparent display above the right eye.
