A friend of mine arcs up about roadside trees and in particular, overhanging "widow-maker" branches...I tend to agree, but his requirement for about 50 metres of cleared land either side of roads, is probably economically and politically unachievable! As long as you have people operating vehicles, there will be accidents and deaths. Autonomous vehicles could be WORSE if introduced too early!
