ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Digital twin

Digital twins are like imaginary or virtual copies of real-world objects. They use data from a real object to create a virtual model that looks and acts just like the real object, so you can see what the real object is like and how it works. For example, a digital twin of your car would let you see what it looks like, how it works, and what it needs to stay safe and running.
