A Robot Sat in the Driver’s Seat: THINKCAR and MUCAR Brought AI Diagnostics to 200+ KOLs at the AliExpress Brand+ Summer Party in London
LONDON – June 11, 2026 – On the outdoor parking bay outside HOUSE PARTY on Poland Street, a Unitree robot sat in the driver’s seat of a BYD ATTO 2 DM-i, gripping the steering wheel as a THINKCAR diagnostic scanner ran a live vehicle scan beside it. A second robot stood outside the car, holding a diagnostic tablet toward the crowd as if demonstrating the reading.
Around them, more than 200 KOLs, car owners, and DIY enthusiasts gathered — watching the robots simulate what AI-powered diagnostics looks like in practice, in seconds.

This was the scene at THINKCAR and MUCAR’s activation at the AliExpress Brand+ Summer Party — a live demonstration that turned a Soho parking bay into a workshop floor, testing a single question: how fast can AI help you understand what’s happening under the hood?
The activation played out across two levels of the venue. Upstairs on the street, THINKCAR demonstrated its professional diagnostic lineup on the BYD ATTO 2 DM-i — fault code parsing, AI-generated reports, and maintenance recommendations surfaced in under two minutes, with the Unitree robot running a scan from the driver’s seat and visually connecting robotics, AI, and real-time diagnostics. Downstairs, MUCAR took over the basement alongside a classic BMW, styling it as a DIY mechanic’s garage where car enthusiasts could explore accessible diagnostic tools. The highlight: a live giveaway of MUCAR BT200 OBD scanners, with the team walking winners through basic setup and vehicle fault diagnosis on the spot.
Predict the Champion, Win the Tool
The same AI diagnostic technology featured at the London event is also the centerpiece of the brands’ “Predict the Champion” giveaway. Fans can visit mythinkcar.com/pages/predict-2026-champion to enter and view full giveaway rules. Prizes include THINKCAR and MUCAR diagnostic scanners. The giveaway closes June 30, with winners announced in the week of the World Cup final.
Why This Matters Now
Modern cars run on software — dozens of electronic control units, thousands of data points per second. Traditional diagnostics waits for something to break. AI-assisted diagnostics reads the data before the warning light turns on. The London activation gave more than 200 influencers a direct, hands-on comparison of what each approach looks like in practice — with live scans surfacing actionable insights in under two minutes for attendees who had never used a professional diagnostic tool before.
The shift is already underway. The AI-powered diagnostics segment is among the fastest-growing categories in the automotive aftermarket, driven by wider EV adoption and increasingly software-defined vehicles. Tools that once lived only in authorized dealer workshops are now portable, connected, and accessible to independent technicians, DIY drivers, and car enthusiasts alike.
What’s Next
The London activation is one chapter of a broader campaign built around prediction, preparation, and the idea that every vehicle deserves a championship team — drivers, tools, and AI working together. Upcoming phases include a real-vehicle AI diagnostics challenge and World Cup final fan engagement. The campaign runs through July.
