Parallax beyond the distance equivalent to that between the cameras very quickly drops the distance accuracy possible to resolve into the noise floor.

E.g. just a quarter mile is already in the noise.

There's no reason to care about precisely measuring things a quarter of a mile away. Human drivers don't.
