For this workshop, this idea was to propose driving scenarios to the participants in order to center discussion around concrete conditionally automated driving situations and discuss about which information from the AI-based agent of the automated car should be conveyed to the driver/pedestrian in such situations.

Two driving scenarios with a different point of view were proposed : one from the driver’s seat and one from a pedestrian point of view. Group A and B worked on the driving scenario from the driver's point of view and Group C worked on the driving scenario from a pedestrian point of view.

For these two scenarios, participants were told that the car was slowing down but the driver/pedestrian did not know why. During the brainstorming session, they had to answer to these questions :

• What information should be conveyed to the driver/pedestrian about the state of the autonomous vehicle ?
• How granular should the explanations be ?

Each group had to base their reflection on the basis of the 3 levels of the SAT model (cf Figure below).

Based on the reflection made during the first session of brainstorming, participants had to discuss about how to convey the selected information to the driver/pedestrian. At the end of the creativity session, each group had to provide both a storyboard and a mockup or physical prototype.
