I think I'm more concerned about the unfortunate scenarios where:
Glasses fuck up meaning driver can only see near -> something that needs quick reactions happens to avoid someone dying -> driver is fumbling with glasses or trying to find a spare pair -> somebody dies
As a driver with short sight and glasses, if my glasses fall off I'm not suddenly blind - I just can't read license places or signs. Traffic lights, other cars etc are still pretty obvious.
I also am short sighted, though possibly a bit worse than you given your description. If my glasses suddenly fell off there are plenty of hazards I would potentially miss. Idiot kid about to run into the road, etc.
My sister can't see the big E on the old school eye charts.
My kid barely can, as well. They're practically blind without glasses.
Good point. Maybe these are a “home or office use only” device.
I would looove to have something like this for work or home.
