The California woman who was issued a ticket for speeding, and driving while wearing Google Glass pleaded not guilty in San Diego traffic court Tuesday the Associated Press reported.
"This has to play out in court," Fran Clader, spokeswoman for the California Highway Patrol told the AP.
Cecilia Abadie, was cited for suspicion of going 80 mph in a 65 mph speed limit zone, and driving while wearing Google glass Oct. 30.
"A cop just stopped me and gave me a ticket for wearing Google Glass while driving!" Cecilia Abadie said in a post on her Google Plus account immediately following the October incident. "The exact line says: Driving with Monitor visible to Driver (Google Glass). Is #GoogleGlass illegal while driving or is this cop wrong??? Any legal advice is appreciated!! This happened in California. Do you know any other #GlassExplorers that got a similar ticket anywhere in the US?"
Abadie is scheduled to take the stand in her trial currently planned for January, where according to her attorney William Concidine, she will state she was not wearing the glasses while she was behind the wheel, and did not have the connected eyewear, awake, as they often turn on when the user moves their head.
The regulations for which the ticket was issued, involves video screens in cars, and not Google Glass according to Concidine the AP reported.
According to Fox News, the rule found in section 27602 of the California regulations says "a person shall not drive a motor vehicle if a television receiver, a video monitor, or a television or video screen ... is visible to the driver while driving the motor vehicle."
Google has continued to evolve Google Glass. The device currently consists of allowing users to send friend requests to three of their close acquaintances, and listen to music.
Users can also view their e-mail, educate themselves on things they see with the glasses, and obtain driving directions.
