I think it is worth mentioning that although it is true that Lipschitz continuity guarantees unique solutions, there is a weaker regularity condition for $f$ which also gives uniqueness. The buzzword is "Osgood condition" and the theorem is given in Andrey Rekalo's answer to this MO question on "Existence/Uniqueness of solutions to quasi-Lipschitz ODEs".
