Crazy to think that Ford didn't include items such as AEB (Automatic Emergency Braking) or precollision warning systems, etc.

Just a headline reader huh?
If you actually read article you would have seen that the Mustangs tested were pre '18's.

Which compare almost identically to Camaro, according to the IIHS. Euro NCAP tests are different that the NTHSA and IIHS tests. With Camaro testing almost indentically to Mustang structurally, and also not offering the same safety features the Euro Mustang is missing, it most likely would not have faired any better.

However, according to the article linked:

"Ford is launching a facelifted Mustang for 2018, which will be available to order in Europe this September. Ford confirmed that the updated model will get several safety features, including pre-collision assist - with pedestrian detection, forward collision warning and AEB – as well as lane-keeping assist. However, it has yet to confirm whether that equipment will be standard or available as part of an options pack."
