• Communicate with other drivers nearby (e.g. when you are stuck in a traffic jam)
  
  
• Navigate you to your destination with comfort-optimized routing for less stressful driving, prioritizing fewer turns and easier-to-drive segments on highways and major roads
• Keep track of historical commute times
• Record trip mileage for easy expense reporting
• Auto record dashcam videos for protection against unjust tickets or insurance fraud

"Our philosophy behind Sidekick is to make users' driving experience as safe, convenient, and carefree as possible," said Katl­­a Labs CEO Billy Lo. "By combining navigation, communication, and distress functionality into a single app, we offer drivers an all-in-one driving assistant solution that addresses both everyday and emergency situations."

Sidekick has no ads and only offers useful and convenient features with minimal distractions.
