Human depth perception uses stereo out to only about 2 or 3 meters, after which the distance between your eyes is not a useful baseline. Beyond 3m we use context clues and depth from motion when available.
We do a lot more internal image processing. For example, relative motion as seen by either eye helps improve accuracy by a whole lot, in the "medium" distance range.
And I'll add that it in practice it is not even that much unless you're doing some serious training, like a professional athlete. For most tasks, the accurate depth perception from this fades around the length of the arms.
All the shit out there in the world is another story.

If you increase the distance of stereo cameras you probably can increase depth perception.
But a lidar or radar sensor is just sensing distance.
It's not all sunshine and roses to be honest - it was one of the weakest links in the perception system. The video had to run at way higher resolutions than it would otherwise and it was incredibly sensitive to calibration accuracy.
