A história de Acelera SP se passa na grande São Paulo, alguns anos no futuro, no qual as políticas neoliberais se tornaram hegemônicas e todos os serviços públicos nessas cidades foram privatizados ou estão em processo de privatização. O foco desta edição será nos serviços de transportes privados por geolocalização (como o Uber). Iremos então acompanhar o deslocamento de alguns personagens pela grande São Paulo através desses serviços de transporte e nessas viagens mostrar como eles vivem (ou sobrevivem) em um mundo onde não existe mais seguridade social pelo Estado. Na verdade, quase não existe mais Estado, pois quem manda de fato são as corporações e as poucas famílias abastadas que são favorecidas por leis, políticas e práticas de concentração de renda, enquanto a maior parte da população vive na miséria.
