I wouldn't believe it. Unless you are limiting your comparison to the small one you are standing next to in your avatar photo.

Safely controlling a large gas turbine engine on a modern commercial aircraft is far more complex than anything on a modern automobile.

The complexity of the anti-skid brake control system on a modern commercial jet, like, let's say, the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, far exceeds the anti-lock brake controls on a car.
