I don't know much about future droids, but I doubt any soldier in his right mind would take this thing into a combat zone. From what I saw, the guy riding it looked like he had to give a fair bit a concentration to keep on it. So that takes away from the attention he's paying to his surroundings. Add in his overall vulnerability to... well, anything that his armor won't stop and you may as well just be on foot. Plus, when you take into account that many of the patrol casualties are caused by IED's, you have to consider how much safer it would be to stay inside an armored Humvee.
