#NowHearThis: Google Glass may have to hit the road before it ever gets behind the wheel.

There's really no better way to start a busy day in New York City than with the sweet, soothing savvy of Soterious Johnson on WNYC. But this morning, I was especially excited to hear Soterious announcing our very own Matt Collette's latest story about Google Glass would be part of the day's NYC Morning Edition mix.
Check out all the scene setting Matt does in this story: he brings us right into the world of developers and tech geeks. We're in the bar with Launa Rich trying on Google Glass and wondering, how do you control this thing, anyway? Then we move on to the road, and into the car with Robert Sinclair, a AAA employee who's weary of people using more tech in the car.
I left the story curious for what's going to happen next. Will Google Glass prove to be the car-worthy tech of the future? Will wearable tech be applauded as a well-placed navigation device, or chastised as a demonic smartphone on steroids?
I guess we'll have to wait for Matt's next trip to the bar to find out.
