Is there a vehicle which completely removes ice from a slippery road?

Update:

Not a machine which throws salt, but really removes it (takes it away), and leaves a perferctly clean road.

So a machine which scrubs the ice from the road, and collects it, and brushes it clean (no ice or snow left). Of course, for long roads this would take too much time. But maybe for some important A-roads?

Update 2:

Throwing the ice to the side is not what I want and is no solution (of course I know machines like that).

Update 3:

(Be it that such are normally snow deplacing machines; not frozen ice deplacing machines.)
