With UAVs being common throughout the world, why aren’t there many unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) being used for military applications yet?

Aside from other problems, ground vehicles tend to need people in the area to repair them. And vehicles without people nearby on foot tend to be very vulnerable to enemy attack. There’s not really many situations where you wouldn’t have people nearby anyway, so there’s not as much reason to try and make them unmanned.
In contrast, UAVs are sent far from the army to scout alone, so why not get people out of the area of danger entirely?
