Could do with a pair of these with a rear mounted cam, would feel quite a bit safer from the car/bus/lorry driving numpties http://www.theverge.com/2013/1/31/3938182/google-glass-revealed-in-fcc-filing

I think we're a few years off this being affordable for 'ordinary' people. Google's offered a developer version but there were a few thousand dollars.

Except if you drive while using a phone, you'll probably kill someone else before you kill yourself. On a bike, you'll probably be worse off.

I would just like to be able to see what's going on behind be but some HUD info would be handy, also the navigation would be good cant see it being that much of a distraction, pilots have em!

True, except that the driver swerving to avoid you might take out a group of people waiting at a bus stop ...

If this discussion were in current affairs someone would now pop up and say that there is no clear evidence that a fighter pilot has ever crashed into a queue of people waiting at a bus stop
