- You unconsciously estimate the distance to an object from the angle it subtends in your field of view. This angle 0 in radians is related to the linear height of the object h and to the distance d by 0= h/d. Assume that you are driving a car and that another car, 1.50 m high, is 22.0 m behind you.
