A Mumbai-based agency is offering up a bizarre new way to comfort the dead -- an autopilot hearse.
The creators at an agency called Lunatic Koncepts have created a hearse that they say will ensure a cool exit with to-die-for features like air conditioning, a hologram projector and an engine that can be pre-programmed to drive you to your final destination.
The 'Aeternal' is the answer to all coffins that sit in deathly silence -- instead, the dead can now opt to listen to their favorite tunes in surround sound while watching a slideshow of pictures that can be uploaded by mourning family members. However, the bizarre concept is not an entirely brand-new. The Aeternal is an updated model of the Korbiyor, an early prototype created by Charles Bombardier in 2015.
