Man cruises through West Bengal’s roads in a fully functional ‘bed-car’

In a country known for its ingenuity and love of jugaad (creative DIY solutions), a man in West Bengal has turned heads and stirred smiles by cruising through the streets in a one-of-a-kind creation: a fully functional bed-car.
Yes, that is correct. It's a motorized bed — complete with pillows, a mattress, and even a headboard — that drives like a small vehicle and draws delighted reactions wherever it goes.
Videos of the man reclining on his bed-on-wheels, casually steering through traffic as pedestrians stare in amusement, have gone viral on social media. The vehicle, though humorous in appearance, is more than a stunt — it’s an actual drivable contraption, believed to run on a modified scooter or motorbike engine, with headlights, turn indicators, and full maneuverability.
The name of the person who built the bed-car, whose identity has not been revealed for the time being, is unknown. According to reports, he built it himself, combining skill with quirky imagination. Whether it was made as a statement, a passion project, or simply for fun, the invention has become a local sensation and a hit online.
Netizens are calling it a “dream ride” — quite literally — with comments ranging from “Now that’s how you beat traffic stress” to “India never disappoints.” Others are jokingly demanding it be added to Uber or Ola’s fleet.
In a time when urban commuting often feels like a nightmare, this bizarre but brilliant vehicle offers a whimsical reminder: sometimes, you really can sleep through the journey.
Want me to create a fictional profile of the inventor or expand it into a satirical news feature?

A new vehicle is stealing the spotlight in West Bengal's bustling lanes, where honking automobiles and darting rickshaws are the norm, not for its speed but for its sheer originality. Meet the *bed-car*, a rolling, mattress-topped marvel that looks like someone’s afternoon nap took a very wrong — or very right — turn.
The man behind the madness? An eccentric local innovator who has developed a motorized bed that can drive on real roads like a real vehicle. The bed-car is not only a sight to behold, but it also serves as evidence that Indian creativity has no bounds. It is fully functional and surprisingly agile. **On a Mattress, A Joyride** With a steering mechanism discreetly fitted under the bed frame and a compact motor humming underneath, the bed glides smoothly down the road, complete with a headboard, pillows, and a cozy-looking blanket. It's a conversation starter, a car, and furniture all rolled into one. The inventor can be seen in videos relaxing on the bed with one arm behind his head and the other gliding through the city like it's just another day in paradise. The vehicle even sports working headlights and brake lights, suggesting that while it looks like a prank, the engineering is anything but.
Onlookers have been stunned — and thoroughly entertained. People laugh, phones are picked up, and even traffic officers take a second look. From a Meme to a Machine What started as a local curiosity quickly caught fire online. Clips of the bed-car cruised their way into every corner of social media, with people marveling at both the absurdity and the skill involved. Jokes about "waking up and commuting without getting out of bed" and more profound admiration for the builder's mechanical expertise were among the responses. Some compared it to a scene straight out of a cartoon, others likened it to something out of a Wes Anderson film. Regardless of the reference point, one thing is clear: the bed-car is a viral sensation.
"The Man Who Built the Machine" Local sources claim that the inventor is a self-taught mechanic and inventor who is known for repurposing scrap materials into functional technology. Officially, not much is known about the creator. In interviews with regional media, he expressed his desire to “do something fun and different” — and to maybe inspire younger people to get hands-on with machines rather than just scroll through them.
He insists the bed-car is street-safe (within limits) and hopes to improve it further — maybe even add a canopy, or a bedside table for snacks.
**Dreams on Wheels**
In a world where commuting is often a chore, and the roads are ruled by frustration and fumes, the bed-car offers something delightfully opposite: a ride that’s slow, soft, and strangely peaceful.
More than just a viral gimmick, it’s a rolling reminder of the joy of thinking differently — and the power of dreams, even if those dreams come with pillows and a blanket.
As one commenter joked, “India doesn’t need flying cars. We just need nap-friendly ones.”
