Our distance estimates are quite good at human scales, especially when compared to vision based approaches. We don't have great precision (we will never say something like "it's 19.7m away") but we very rarely grossly misestimate (think something is 10m away when it's actually 200m away or 10cm away).
Of course, compared to a LIDAR or advanced techniques used in physics, we don't hold the tiniest candles (say, if we were to compare to LIGO's distance measurements).
