This is inaccurate.  GM did buy EDS, but the MAP project is still part
of GM, and MAP, unlike most of the computer related work, was not given to EDS.
The majority of the MAP implementation work is done by companies making
products which they wish to sell to GM and others who have decided to buy
MAP compatible products.
