Literally, it refers to the name of the 'home' of the chauffeur driven cars that cruise around Paris during the film.

Léos Carax, the director, hates the new digital cameras and the title refers to the "golden age" of camera with motor in it. The director used to say on the set "Motor, camera, action". Carax fears that a day no one would ever say again "action" before shooting...

An interesting point. I dont really see any reference to that in the movie though.

Motors, the driving forces which we consider "ours" and, inevitably, "holy", drive us through the route of changing masks and roles.
