I have looked at the conjugation page for this verb ( "Cooljugator"), but this form of the verb seems to not be present on the page.

@ShadowMecc - the question is incorrect since "подъехать", "подвезти" ("з", not "c") are different verbs, and that's the way it is.– shabunc ♦Jan 23, 2016 at 4:08

Both "-ть" and "-ти" endings denote an infinitive. So it's totally unclear what is the question about.– MattJan 23, 2016 at 7:11

@V.V true, but so far this question is not helpful for a wider audience (in my opinion) neither will be the answer, that's why I left a comment. It is sort of answer - and the answer is that question is incorrect.– shabunc ♦Jan 23, 2016 at 7:12

In general, these are two distinct verbs that are not forms of one another. Besides that, the imperative (“Simple Command”) Cooljugator gives for this verb “подъехать” are just wrong.– Andreï V. KostyrkaJan 24, 2016 at 17:59

There is no form of "подъехать", that sounds "подвести". Both are infinitives of different words.
- Подъехать means "drive up (to)"
- Подвести has to do with walking, leading, guiding or directing and means "bring somebody or something closer (to)", "insert something under something" (drive one end beneath the other)
- Подвезти has to do with driving a vehicle and means "to deliver", "to give a lift"
"подвезти" is a little bit closer to "подъехать" as both have to do with vehicle driving, but they are different too.
To add to Paul's answer, "подвести" can also mean "to let [someone] down".
It's a figurative term, I think it comes from "to walk [someone] under [something]", I don't remember what the origin of this particular use is, unfortunately.
