If people aren't scared of automation there won't be any political pressure to restrict automation. This will probably increase the adoptation rate so I'd say it matters a lot in the discussion.

There will be problems because of automation and I think most Swedes realize this. The safety nets that are in place provide a buffer, and possible solutions, if you should loose your job because of it. I'd say that's where the optimistic attitude in this article comes from.

Sustaining those safety nets is indeed going to be hard if unemployment increases. There probably won't be any "silver bullet" solution to the problem either.
