Can you imagine having a conversation with someone that's wearing this thing

You mean like someone with, well, glasses?

No. The implication of the quote is that, unlike traditional glasses, Google Glass will distract the wearer.

So his point is he is blaming the product for people not being attentive? That would mean the car is at fault for driving without due care and attention, and yet I'm supposed to buy that that is a valuable insight?

I think the point is that when someone has a private always-on HUD right in front of their eyes you can't necessarily tell how much attention they are paying to you.

Are they look at me and smiling because they like me, or have they superimposed a cartoon on top of my face?

If anything Glass will make it really apparent which of your friends are douche buckets.

That would mean the car is at fault for driving without due care and attention

If the car has a TV screen directly in front of the driver, then the design of the car would certainly be at fault for driving without due care and attention. Is that really that controversial?

The Verge had an article in its forums that it promoted to the front page that discussed the privacy implications. The article concluded that many places are likely to ban them from their property.
