According to studies[0] hands-free devices aren't as safe as you'd think. I can't argue whether they are safer, but at least "safer" isn't just enough in itself to justify it.
Also, from personal experience I have to agree with the study. The fact that my one hand is either up against my ear holding a device, or if the device is lying somewhere; the former doesn't require much extra of my attention than the latter. It is the talking and thinking of different things itself that takes away my attention from the road.
Not saying one can't talk and drive (it's quite easy), but since the line is already drawn, it has to be uphold.
I haven't personally tried Google Glass', but could imagine it interferes with your vision a bit. It might be necessary for this to be subject for investigation as to the legality in the future.
