What would happen if you tried to fly through obstacles using warp drive? Distorting space so that two points are closer wouldn't get around the fact that there might be obstacles (e.g. air molecules, space dust, empire destroyers) that you would bump into along the way right. Would all of that stuff appear more densely packed along the direction you compressed space-time? In your reference frame, you could be going through it all very slowly right, with little inertia? So what would it be like if you tried using warp drive to travel along a path with such obstacles? Are there any good sci-fi books that have addressed this issue in depth?
