If it's operating device temperature and not device storage temperature I think it's fine. -4f (-20c) is cold, the cabin of the car is heated to well above that. Just heat the lidar as well.

That's operating temp without external heater. Storage temp is lower.

Even automotive cameras have built in heaters to allow them to operate lower than -20C. Nothing preventing adding the same functionality to our sensors.
