General Motors Salvages Ride-Hailing Company Sidecar for Parts

Not sure why this was buried at end of the article: "The person familiar with the deal added that as part of the transaction, GM will also get a license to a patent that was granted to Sidecar CEO Paul in 2002: “System and method for determining an efficient transportation route.”

Sidecar executives believed the patent covered the essential intellectual property behind ride-sharing, though Uber and Lyft never responded to Sidecar’s repeated attempts to enforce the patent, this person said."

This seems a story by itself.

Sounds like a great opportunity for 20 employees of sidecar.
