When we become able to travel in spaceships at faster-than-light speeds, what happens if we're travelling and we hit a black hole? How would we be able to prevent ships from falling into black holes when the amount of time available to warn about them is too small (considering the faster-than-light speed the ship will be travelling at)?

You won't but the chance is extremely small and you know about the biggest ones. Consider this:
>when cars become ubiquitous what happens if there's a collision? How do we prevent this?
You don't. You minimize the risk and call it a day and it's exactly what happened with any mode of transportation.

I played everspace and used the jumpjet to boost through a blackholes gravity. Except I forgot about the 3 drones that were attached to me and they all tried to follow me and got sucked into the black hole and they all died. I felt absolutely fucking awful. Poor guys just didn't know better that following me around will just get them killed. They can't do what I can.

The amount of space between astronomical objects compared to their size is so great that the risk of an accidental collision with a large object is miniscule. Personally, I'd be much more worried about hitting a speck of dust traveling near light speed.
