LARA, Arturo; CHAVEZ MEZA, Ricardo Artemio  and  JAIMES GUTIERREZ, Ma. Guadalupe. From Simple to Complex: The Case of Electronic Acceleration System in Automobiles. Econ: teor. práct [online]. 2019, n.50, pp.37-62. ISSN 2448-7481.  https://doi.org/10.24275/etypuam/ne/502019/lara.

From the theory of complex systems (Arthur, 2009), this paper aims to: 1) analyze technological change from the perspective of the phenomena that exploits the acceleration system; 2) explain how a simple system becomes a complex one; 3) recognize the importance of rules, norms and strategies used by agents in order to produce new technologies, and 4) study the problem of unintentional acceleration.
