With rising global energy demand and growing awareness of climate change and its impacts, the share of renewable energies in the global energy mix continues to grow. Unlike conventional power generation, the output of renewable energy sources cannot be controlled as consistently due to their dependence on environmental conditions. Therefore, reliable prediction of current and future energy production is essential. In this paper, we report findings from two structured literature reviews on real-world renewable energy prediction tasks: wind turbine power curve modeling and photovoltaic power prediction. For the former, we conducted a comprehensive literature review ourselves, while for the latter, we synthesize the key findings regarding frequently selected input features based on an existing survey. Across both domains, our analysis reveals that despite the large number of available monitoring and environmental variables, only limited or unsystematic methods for feature selection exist. To address this gap, we propose Cluster-based Sequential Feature Selection (CSFS), a novel, model-agnostic, clustering-based wrapper method for automatic, efficient, and reliable feature selection in renewable energy prediction pipelines. To support reproducibility and reuse, we provide an open-source implementation of CSFS on GitHub. We empirically evaluate the proposed approach on both use cases and compare it with established feature selection techniques such as wrapper-based sequential feature selection (SFS), filter-based methods, and Random Forest's embedded feature importance. The results show that the wrapper-based methods overall provide better-performing selections of features. CSFS achieves a predictive performance comparable to SFS while reducing computational cost by an average of 21%.

Recent advances in Vision-Language Models, Large Language Models, and Multimodal Large Language Models have improved autonomous driving tasks such as scene understanding, decision making, trajectory prediction, and visual question answering. However, evaluating whether these models can reliably reason about safety-critical incidents remains challenging. To address this gap, we present AUTOPILOT-VQA, an incident-centric visual question answering benchmark for dashcam video understanding. The dataset evaluates different systems through structured questions designed around real-world driving incidents and near-incidents. The benchmark covers diverse safety-relevant categories, including weather and lighting conditions, traffic environment, road layout, road surface state, signage, involved entities, accident occurrence, impact location, and avoidability-related reasoning. By requiring models to answer grounded questions about both contextual scene properties and event-level incident details, AUTOPILOT-VQA moves beyond object recognition toward temporally grounded, safety-aware reasoning. The dataset is released as part of the AUTOPILOT CVPR 2026 competition and provides a standardized benchmark for assessing the reliability of autonomous driving systems in different scenarios. Our benchmark support developments for more interpretable, robust, and safety-conscious vision-language systems for real-world autonomous driving.
