If the car is traveling (just less than) the speed of light:
The headlights look normal to you driving the car. The car and light from the headlights appear frozen to everyone else ( this would actually happen if the car were entering a black hole, just before the event horizon - observers would see the car stalled at the EV, “never” actually entering).

If you see it traveling at just less than the speed of light how is it that it appears ‘frozen’?
The event horizon is a vortex, so I don’t understand how it would look “frozen”.
” The headlights look normal to you driving the car. The car and light from the headlights appear frozen to everyone else ( this would actually happen if the car were entering a black hole, just before the event horizon - observers would see the car stalled at the EV, “never” actually entering)..”
Given that no light escapes the black hole, there will be no car seen entering.
However the light ‘stops’ coming from the car after entering the black hole thus it will disappear.
Before the event horizon, the car will NOT be seen normal as the light will be more and more red-shifted as it approaches the event horizon.
