People with only one good eye can have good depth perception. There are many clues to assess their position relative to other objects that don't rely on two eyes. I wouldn't want them trying to land on an aircraft carrier, but driving an auto doesn't require fine depth perception or they would test for it when licensing/renewing and prohibit monocular people from driving.
