Semantic Communication (SEM-COM) has emerged as one of the disruptive technologies facilitating the evolution towards sixth-generation (6G) wireless networks. This article presents the potential of SEM-COM to transform Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communications, with a particular emphasis on its ability to enhance communication efficiency and intelligence. We discuss the core components and metrics that characterize SEM-COM, providing insights into its operational framework within the context of V2X communications. We illustrate the applicability and practicality of SEM-COM through real-world vehicular use cases, demonstrate the potential of SEM-COM to enhance aspects of intelligent mobility, such as communication efficiency and decision-making. Finally, the article identifies key open research questions for SEM-COM V2X, pointing to areas that require further exploration and thus setting a foundation for future work in this evolving domain.
