No, the accelerator pedal has shorter ones, that are below the surface of the pedal. You want the accelerator to be a bit slippery, for control. But the rubber's extend above the metal on clutch/brake for grip - you don't want to slide off either.

Good point though Utah. Having learned from my father (who was an amateur racer...Opel GT), I know a few tricks. I'm curious what I'd learn in a driving course.
Now, I know to wipe off my foot first. Unfortunately, the floor mats are acrylic. Not much absorption. (But they clean well.)
