CarPlay apps follow a template-based architecture:

```swift

import CarPlay

class CarPlaySceneDelegate: UIResponder, CPTemplateApplicationSceneDelegate {

var interfaceController: CPInterfaceController?

func templateApplicationScene(

_ templateApplicationScene: CPTemplateApplicationScene,

didConnect interfaceController: CPInterfaceController

) {

self.interfaceController = interfaceController

let template = CPListTemplate(

title: "My App",

sections: [/ sections /]

)

interfaceController.setRootTemplate(template, animated: true)

}

}

```
