Illinois Could Be the First State to Ban Wearing Smart Glasses While Driving

Illinois legislature passed a bill to ban the use of smart glasses while driving, targeting “artificial intelligence smart glasses.”
If signed, Illinois would become the first state to implement such a ban, positioning it similarly to the prohibition on cell phone use while driving.
The bill allows drivers to use smart glasses while parked or in neutral if traffic is obstructed.
Penalties include a $75 fine for a first offense and up to $150 per offense for repeated violations; minimum fine is $1,000 if a crash results in serious injuries or death.
The governor is given 60 days to decide on the bill after receiving it from the Illinois General Assembly.
Governor JB Pritzker has a mixed record on tech industry issues but is reportedly inclined to sign a separate bill to increase restrictions on social networks to protect online children.
