However, due to the scarce spectrum allocated to ITS, current vehicle-to-everything (V2X) networks experience a severe capacity bottleneck. In this paper, we consider a typical ITS application where images are periodically captured and transmitted by the vehicles. Using an open dataset of real video frames captured by vehicles, we show that the current bandwidth allocated to ITS is insufficient, requiring the vehicles to transmit the video at only a small portion of the frame rate at which it can be captured by the sensors. Furthermore, we show that semantic communications (SemCom) using semantic segmentation are essential to solve this problem, since the receivers are not interested in receiving high definition images but a semantic interpretation that assesses the importance of the elements in it. Our results show that, although the benefits of SemCom in terms of energy consumption are limited to algorithms with a low computational complexity, SemCom are able to greatly improve the performance in terms of maximum supported load and latency, making SemCom essential to make future ITS over 6G viable.This work was supported in part by MICIU/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 under Project TED2021-131387B-I00; in part by the European Union "NextGenerationEU"/PRTR; in part by MICIU/AEI/10.13039/501100011033/FEDER, UE, under Project PID2021-123168NB-I00; in part by the SNS JU Project 6G-GOALS through the EU's Horizon Program under Grant 101139232; and in part by the Villum Investigator Grant "WATER" from the Velux Foundation, Denmark.
