Meanwhile, Tesla drivers are driving around with a dozen cameras mounted on their vehicle pointing in every direction. Who would have thought that would be socially acceptable in 2026.

I think a small speaker should announce, in the local language, "recording in progress" when these are used.
Apparently they already have a blinking white light to indicate that recording is in progress. https://about.fb.com/news/2026/07/metas-ai-glasses-your-ques...

Either Mark Zuckerberg is playing an elaborate practical joke on everyone, or this is further proof that the West Coast tech scene has become such a bubble people have lost all sense of how ordinary people think. There is just no way this was going to fly in 2026 given high and increasing negative sentiment globally towards tech, and I'm not sure what made them think otherwise
In the US, Meta sold 7 million glasses units last year and is projected to sell 25+ million next year. Waymos already record everything happening in most of the area of many cities, and use much more than just cameras. 6g standard has sensing built in. Perhaps it is not the West Coast that is in the bubble.
Wearing a camera on your face during normal social interactions is a deeply weird thing to do, it's not the same thing at all

If I were a billionaire zunt, I'd do that...

Display optional, possibly as a simple projector that reflect the image from the concave glass surface of prescription glasses.

The shutter sound on cameras (including those built in to a phone) can't be muted in Japan
it's like thinking if we start reading people's whatsapp messages we will find out pedophiles and they won't just move to app which ignores gov requirements

and they are banned in Austria and prepare to pay hefty fine if police notice them https://www.oeamtc.at/thema/vorschriften-strafen/zulaessigke...
Indiscriminate, permanent saving of recordings and distributing the footage is banned.
Using the dashcam to document incidents or accidents with saving a limited time span of video triggered by a sensor/timer is allowed.
