Storytelling Visualization of an Autonomous Vehicle Test Campaign
Overview
What this challenge is about.
You receive aggregated test results: 12,000 test runs across dry, wet, and snow conditions, with metrics for disengagement rate, near-miss count, and route-completion percentage. Design a board-facing 8-slide deck (executive narrative, headline ahead of detail) and a 5-minute engineering all-hands script with charts (technical depth, honest about regressions). Use the same chart sources for both. Deliverable is both artifacts plus a short note on the design choices for each audience.
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Tell the same test campaign story for both the board and the engineering team without distorting the underlying numbers for either audience.
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Adapt the same data story to two different audiences without distortion
- Apply chart-design conventions consistently across an artifact set
- Identify the headline metric per audience and lead with it
- Reason about ethical limits of chart-design persuasion
