Dooz Advice
In 2026, a car's "electronic architecture" has become more vital than its metal frame. Always look for vehicles with Onboard AI, which ensures immediate response for safety and autonomous systems even if the internet connection is lost. More importantly, it protects your privacy by keeping your data within the car’s "brain" rather than on cloud servers. A smart investment today is a car that protects you digitally as well as mechanically.
Because excitement is incomplete without professional coverage, the Dooz Team will be on the ground at the Dead Sea Circuit with exclusive coverage to bring you the finest details and behind-the-scenes action. To stay at the heart of the event, download the Dooz App.
