Need a ride? Google launched Google Ride Finder where you can currently  find a ride in Baltimore, Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, Milwaukee, New York, Phoenix, San Jose, St Louis, and Washington DC.

This is what I love about Google.  They are so creative and really implement and execute great ideas. This is currently in the Labs section, but I am wondering if this was a 20% project.

Check it out. I am sure that this is just the beginning of cool and useful tools that will be added to the Google Maps!
