Welcome to the Workshop on Explainable AI in Automated Driving: a User-Centered Interaction Approach ! This workshop will be part of the Automotive UI conference 2019 (Utrecht, Netherlands).
We believe it is important to investigate the field of Explainable AI (XAI) in the context of automated driving since interpretability and transparency are key factors for increasing trust and security. In particular, we aim at gathering researchers and industry practitioners from different fields in order to brainstorm about XAI focusing on the perspective of human interaction since it has not been sufficiently studied in existing explainable approaches. Questions like “what kind of explanation do we need”, “which is the best trade-off between performance and explainability we want to achieve” and “how granular should the explanations be” will be addressed in this workshop.
Discussion will be focus on:
If you are interested in participating in the workshop, we are looking for contributions on XAIs in the field of autonomous driving. For more information, go to the page Call for papers.

Pitches: Attendees will have 2-3 minutes each to make a pitch about topics of interests proposed in the margin or the paper they submit to the workshop - My thesis in 180 seconds format
Presentation of Driving Scenarios: Two virtual reality simulation stations will be installed in the room. This idea is to propose a realistic, attractive and immersive driving scenario to the attendees in order to stimulate their creativity. Each station will show driving scenarios with a different point of view: one from the driver’s seat and one from a pedestrian point of view. Each point of view will be experienced by two groups.
Brainstorming: While an attendee is watching the scene with the VR headset, other participants will have the opportunity to watch the same scenario shown through a video that will be looped and projected on a large screen. According to the driving scenarios they will experience, each group will have to brainstorm about what information should be conveyed to the driver/pedestrian about the state of the autonomous vehicle and what modality should be used to convey the information.
Creativity Session: Based on the ideas that result from the brainstorming, each group will have to create a prototype or a mockup to answer the problem shown by the driving scenario. It is expected that the prototype/mockup give insights about what information to the driver and how to convey the information, possibly using different modalities. To support this phase, tools for sketching and rapid prototyping will be proposed.
