SideCar, which provides ride-sharing through mobile apps, has raised $10 million in Series A financing from Google Ventures and Lightspeed Venture Partners. The app enables people to find nearby drivers who have signed up to provide rides through the service. Sunil Paul told Forbes he received a patent in 2002 for the idea of accepting transportation requests for pickup, determining location and directing the vehicle to the location pickup.
