Is there an equivalent safety standard for ICE vehicles? I don't think a gas task would do particularly well in the exact same circumstance either

Yes, of course there is. That's why the gas tanks are in the back, and they most certainly do survive such crashes.

If the combustion occurs as the result of a crash, can that really be said to be “spontaneous?”

No, just during, when you're unconscious, and not safe in your new car miles away.

Right. They sometimes spontaneously combust even without crashes.
