This strange “spacetime crystal” can suddenly become a black hole

Physics allows for black holes far smaller than the enormous objects typically found at the centers of galaxies or created when massive stars collapse.

Noted senior-citizen advocates over at AARP identify seat height, door size and weight, roofline, sill height, and even steering-wheel position as factors that can make entering and exiting a vehicle easier or harder.
