This Open Access textbook presents Carnot-Carathéodory spaces from the perspective of Lie groups. Its main objective is to illustrate how these non-smooth geometries manifest in various mathematical domains, including metric geometry and geometric group theory. In contrast to other sources, this book utilizes the formalism of Lie groups to showcase how this theory facilitates the development of geometry and analysis on the non-smooth structure of Carnot-Carathéodory spaces. Major results are presented with rigorous mathematical proofs, and references for further exploration are provided. Open problems in these areas are discussed, offering insights into recent developments and avenues for future research.
