-- MUV: The Motorious Utility Vehicle, The Hampton Rallaye backfires.caranddriver/forums/239/posts/66223-387804?page=6 #HypnotizeZMax: last.fm/music/The+Notorious+B.I.G./_/Hypnotize -- Integrated Concepts Vehicles, LLC:: ICVehicles WHITE PAPER Author: Bogdan Sandulescu In 1997 I gave my plan to Douglas Ota of Microsoft Consulting and asked if I could hire his team to build my interactive web site. Doug was a customer at Michelangelo Motorworks in Irvine CA, who was raced a BMW M3 sponsored by Microsoft. He then gave the plan to the head of Microsofts AutoPC division, who later moved to head Intels AutoPC division: money.cnn/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/1998/09/07/247848/index.htm., who then went to BMW: microsoft/en-us/news/press/2002/Mar02/03-04BMWpr.aspx. They went to WirelessCar, who then gave MOTORIOUS a proposal which I rejected. The company entered into a partnership with evosport, who shared the LA 2000 Auto show booth with them, and along with Kathy Florio (formerly of Goldman Sachs) launched the secure web server: intranets.motorious. Kathy Florio: sarge@motorious Wolé Fayemi: mo@motorious Marty Marion: mrblue@motorious Jeffrey King: tori@motorious Mike: achmed@motorious Willliam Gerken: archangel@motorious Simon Atik: Acting CIO_Chief Intelligence Officer In 2001, Kwang Thomas Choi and Thomas Donnelly of Bear Stearns set up a meeting with me and my brother, Olutoyin and Danny Panoz and Dele Atanda at Road Atlanta. They then forced me off of the corporate bank accounts (Citibank: W13th/5th Ave and Chase: Janet Yehle, 23rd Street/1st Ave) and placed Richard McGinnis ([email protected]) and Tom Choi there along with Philip Munger. Through Lucy Ostrofsky (arteam@yahoo), they sent out wire transfers to all of the consultants to the company, including $9,000.00 to Brad Otoupalik of Evosport: CONSIDERATION: Contract Law, Calimari & Perillo, Lieberman v. Templar Motors: BREACH OF CONTRACT: Punitive Damages, Treble Cross Reference: Blacks Law Dictionary, Damages Diana Choi, Toms sister went on to work for Ford Financial Services, and Bear Stearns was acquired by JP Morgan. Jeffrey King and Martin Marion left the company to form Alchemy Interactive, with which they approached the auto industry dirctly. Lucy Ostrofsky (arteam@yahoo) filed a W-2 for me for $11,000.00 in 2001 as the sole eployee of MOTORIOUS, and filed K-1 applications for me and my brother for ICV, LLC, and filed a K-1 which I received from Genesis Merchant Group Partners for the year 1998, three years late. I paid a $25,000.00 retainer to Quantum Financial, 505 Park Avenue jack@quantumfp, david@quantumfp. Janet Shinkelberg of The Bank of Granada Hills sent me a past due notice for $25,000 for an falsified invoice for the delivery of a Nissan V-6 engine and promised Ferrari V10. Yonaton, of the Alpha Group (Hillel Shamam of Best of the West Autobody) was responsible for the introduction to Louis Bouizeron of Matrix Motors, who also shared the LA Auto show booth. I printed hundred of business cards listing myself as the CEO: Chief Entertainment Officer of the company, and printed the email: mo@motorious. Simon Atik simon@evosport, CIO of Trust Company of the West, was the webmaster, and was supposed to redirect all emails to mo@motorious to my [email protected] email. close to 1 million people went through Kentia Hall Booth K-901 that year. I had a office, conference room, three telephone lines in the booth, and was holding meeting with prospective partners for 2 weeks straight. --- Y2KGlitch: https://credit-suisse/investment_banking/en/ autoweek/article/20111117/LOSANGELES/111119854 History of the Company: Y2K MOTORIOUS CAFE: Flagship Store (jansongoldstein/) Motorious Motors, LLC, and Accelerated Sciences Corporation (dba: Motorious, Inc.) exist as a holding company and R&D subsidiary devoted to commercializing the concept of “built to order” or “mass customization” in the automotive aftermarket. Founded in 1995 by Wole M. Fayemi, the first legal entity, nee Integrated Concepts Vehicles, LLC (California, later renamed: Motorious Motors, LLC), an automotive think tank, was formed to protect the company’s developing intellectual property. In 2001, based upon the collective work of the preceding 5 years, a patent application was filed at the US PTO [Shahan Islam: Rosenman Colin, LP] to protect what the company believes could be a transformative idea for the auto industry. Conceptually, it remains the cornerstone of this venture, relying on a novel database structure(s) linked to eigenspaces, using game theory algorithms. The company strongly believes that there is no prior art to its system and method, and intends to vigorously prosecute and defend its IP, some of which is being developed with strategic partners. In 1999, upon the formation of two more corporations, Accelerated Sciences, LLC (California) and Accelerated Sciences Corporation (Delaware), the corporation COINED THE TERM: MOTORIOUS. After trademark applications were filed, the corporation immediately had first public use of this term to make its intentions, by launching it into the PUBLIC DOMAIN on: January 1, 2000 (Y2K) in these forms: 1: the world wide web: motorious.ugo 2: national television advertising on [FOX SPORTS: huntadkins/home.html ] for 6 month 3: several trade shows, including the Greater Los Angeles Auto Show where over one million people were witness to its use in several forms, and 68,000 people registered to enter into a Sweepstakes, while walking through an almost 10,000 square foot prototype retail store at the Los Angeles Auto Show, where plans were revealed for a national, and ultimately worldwide large scale retail franchise, intended to consolidate the $30 Billion U.S. aftermarket by directly linking manufacturers and suppliers to retail distribution and financial services, the latter heretofore unavailable in this form in the industry. Cross Marketing and cross selling opportunities abound, and plans and early contracts were formed with the motorsports industry, extreme sports personalities and equipment companies, record labels and personalities in the music industry, as well as the wines and spirits industries, and both health food and sports drinks. Confidential plans were distributed in 2000, and letters of intent (LOI) and MOU (memorandums of understanding) were drafted for a broad range of subsidiaries, businesses and extensions of the brand, including Motorious Technology (an operating system for automobile entertainment and navigation systems), Motorious A&R (music) and other forms of new media entertainment, and plans exist to expand the brand and its sub brands in conjunction with the fashion industry and traditional and new media outlets, including television, radio, a proprietary magazine called IGNITION™. Furthermore, the company believes it has planned what will become one of the largest “social networks”, one involving the connection of all auto owners via their cars (and/or wireless devices) to each other, as well as a vast service network enabling secure purchasing. It is estimated that there are 800 million cars on the road globally today, and that number is expected to rise to well over 1 Billion in the next decade, sufficient time for the technology necessary to achieve this to exist as standard features in cars, or retrofitted to those which do not have it. Motorious will differentiate itself from other social networks in that its technology is transaction based, with the goal of facilitating purchase of products whether directly in car (music), via it’s proprietary network with its consortium of partners, at it’s retail facilities, or at retail facilities of its marketing and cross selling partners. The company believes that this customer acquisition vehicle will help it to most directly access the $280 Billion in disposable income spent annually in the United States by its primary target market: GENERATION X. The company intends to vigorously defend its intellectual property position, and seek legal action and injunctions against all those who misappropriate it. I NEVER RECEIVED ONE EMAIL FROM ANYONE WHO GOT MY BUSINESS CARD IN 1999/2000. -- Detroit puts B2B in drive Penelope Patsuris, 11.12.99, 12:00 AM ET Automobile manufacturers are the Rodney Dangerfields of the stock market, says Goldman Sachs automotive analyst Gary Lapidus. Since the onset of the Internet, theyve gotten no respect from Wall Street. Last weeks announcements that both GM gm (nyse: gm - news - people) and Ford f (nyse: f - news - people) plan to launch web-based business-to-business transaction exchanges by next years first quarter are clearly a bid to change that. With these plans, both corporate giants hope to recapture the glory days of Detroit. The automakers decided that if someone was going to come along and create an online industry marketplace for auto suppliers, theyre going to get a cut of that action. GM and Ford looked around and said, We may have no market valuation but we sure do control a lot of economic activity, says Lapidus, who points out that if GM had Yahoo!s yhoo (nasdaq: yhoo - news - people) price-to-earnings ratio, GMs market cap would be $6.8 trillion. Both Ford and GM purchase more than $80 billion worth of goods annually. GMs MarketSite and Fords AutoXchange hope to harness that buying power to the Internet economy both to cut costs and also to get in on those mind-boggling dot-com market caps. Both will support business between manufacturers and their suppliers, as well as among the suppliers themselves to form an industry marketplace. Ford and GM each do business with thousands of suppliers, all of which will be able to post their catalogs for direct sales and auctions. Each exchange also intends to open itself up to a broader, more global base of suppliers than either car company currently has. The ultimate vision is to have a central place to handle everything from basic office-supply procurement to the product development and manufacturing of things like air-conditioning systems. If GM had Yahoo!s price-to-earnings ratio, GMs market cap would be $6.8 trillion. Fords AutoXchange is a joint venture with software maker Oracle orcl (nasdaq: orcl - news - people), in which Ford owns a majority stake. For its part GM is working with e-commerce software maker Commerce One cmrc (nasdaq: cmrc - news - people) and holds warrants to purchase 4.8 million of its shares if MarketSite hits its revenue target. In other words both GM and Ford stand to benefit handsomely from an equity standpoint if these exchanges succeed and are rewarded by the stock market the way others have been. They could have just hired these guys to automate their supply chains and save billions, Lapidus says. But they got more savvy so that now if someone creates a multibillion dollar market cap out of their volume, theyll get a piece of it. Not that launching web sites capable of facilitating business transactions of such volume and complexity will be easy--or necessarily happen on schedule. The fact that both announcements came within hours of each other on Nov. 2, and that each promised to have their respective sites up and running so fast in a notoriously slow-moving industry, sounds more like competitors vying for the cyber spotlight than it does reality. The timelines do seem aggressive considering were in mid-November, says Al Salerno, the director of automotive industries at JD Edwards jdec (nasdaq: jdec - news - people), which handles enterprise resource planning for hundreds of Ford and GM suppliers. When these sites are up and running, there is little doubt that theyll save GM and Ford enormous amounts of money for the same reasons the other business-to-business web exchanges do for their participants. The electronic efficiencies cut costs, and a bigger population of suppliers drives down prices. If they can extract a half a percent from everything they purchase, youre talking about billions in savings, says Lehman Brothers automotive analyst Nick Lobaccaro. The automakers also stand to create new sources of revenue via these sites. Our exchange isnt designed to make money off of our supply base. We just want to give them a bigger market, says GMs Harold R. Kutner, group vice president of worldwide purchasing and North American production control and logistics. Obviously it costs money to run a site, so there will be a transaction fee structure, maybe as high as 10% or as low as half a percent. He says GM is spending $10 million to launch MarketSite. In discussing AutoXchange Alice Miles, president of Ford B2B Process Leadership, has mentioned the possibility of selling advertising. Viewed in a much larger context beyond the bottom line, both MarketSite and AutoXchange represent important steps toward an entirely new made-to-order business model. As a reality this is far off in the distance. Currently 90% of all cars are purchased off the showroom floor, and thats not going to change anytime soon. But analysts do see the Dell Computer dell (nasdaq: dell - news - people) model as a possibility for the auto industry. This is step one in the transition from a push business model to a pull model, says Goldmans Lapidus. To get there you need a more flexible supply chain. All thats missing is the connection between this back end and the [retail] front end, he says. In theory manufacturers can get orders that take a week to make and a week to ship, Lapidus speculates. The amount of time it takes to build a vehicle isnt that long, he says. The problem is planning and scheduling with suppliers, which is why [these exchanges] are at the crux of this issue. In the here and now, its not clear exactly what will be required technically of any business to participate in these exchanges, since for the most part the manufacturers have yet to discuss the exchanges with their suppliers. AutoXchange and MarketSite say all users will need is a web browser. Suppliers wont need to install any technology to get immediate benefits from these exchanges, says Kevin Miller, Oracles vice president of Internet procurement. They could be handwriting purchase orders and still access these sites and take advantage of things like spot-buying and reverse auctions. IDC analyst Chris Silva says that since there already are more than a thousand B2B exchanges out there, We already have the Tollhouse Recipe for the infrastructure. Were not just going to jump on a web site, look at some specs and send out a seat just like that. Nevertheless there are some concerns. What GM and Ford have not said is what impact these initiatives will have on their suppliers existing business systems, says Salerno of J.D. Edwards. Were already fielding calls from our customers asking us if weve seen this, but were still trying to figure it out. The firm intends to announce its e-commerce plans and how they will fit in with these new organizations next month. Other automaker partners are less perplexed by the technology than the business practices involved. When we supply interiors were working on them three or four years in advance, says John Crary, vice president of information technology at Lear Corp. lea (nyse: lea - news - people), which makes automotive interiors and electronics. Were not just going to jump on a web site, look at some specs and send out a seat just like that. Dennis Virag, president of the Ann Arbor, Mich.-based firm Automotive Consulting Group, has concerns about the car companies suddenly dealing with so many unknown business entities. How do you know theyll adhere to product specifications without the kind of cheating that causes a part to fail in the field, says Virag. I know of one instance where an O ring failed in the field and cost $20 million to recall. Will these exchanges prequalify everyone participating? The list of questions and concerns is a long one, and the most important one may be, Just how much of a burden will it be for suppliers, most of whom work with both GM and Ford as well as other manufacturers, to use two separate industry marketplaces? This may be a challenge at the outset, but it could be resolved if somehow two of this countrys staunchest competitors can bring themselves to work together. I think well see consolidation in this vertical market, says IDCs Silva. After all, the whole idea of an industry marketplace is to have a single point of contact. -- Intel Announces Industry-Leading Software Platform Support for Telematics.
