Here is a video that might help explain it:
but in short it is "a radio-based exchange of information between vehicles, as well as between vehicles and traffic infrastructure" quote from Mercedes.
Which basically means it is a system that allows vehicles to exchange communication with other vehicles when it comes to traffic events (such as collisions), construction, heavy fog, traffic jam, etc. If you are using navigation for example, it will automatically avoid that location.

I saw another one today. Unfortunately it doesn't give you any details. But these were both in residential areas and as far as I could tell there was no incident. So I think its just someone playing around with the report feature in their car.

So I just figured that when you turn on your hazard lights it generates a Car-to-X alert. I'm sure that's what the other alerts I saw were.
