Here’s a description I found:

The C8 Corvette was unique in more ways than one, including the fact that it served as the first generation of Corvette to have only been offered with an automatic transmission. All C8 Corvettes (thus far), have come equipped with a TREMEC 8-speed DCT automatic transmission. This transmission utilizes a dual-clutch design, allowing for rapid shifts of less than 100 milliseconds.

The TREMEC 8-speed utilizes computer-generated algorithms to enhance a motorist’s driving experience and is even able to differentiate between standard cruising and periods of increased performance demands. Control software varies shift points based upon these observations, in a bid to enhance overall performance. Steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters are also standard on the C8 Corvette, allowing drivers to select the gear of their choice depending upon the conditions at hand.
