I don't think you can lump all automated transmissions into the same "DSG" category. I don't think they all need to have the next gearchange up or down queued up in advance. Also, I would bet some automated gearboxes are already configured to "learn" tracks and "know" what gear changes are coming up next. If that doesn't exist now it will soon. And for sure if you get on the brakes it's not a huge leap for AI to deduce that the next gearchange will be "down", or that if you stay on the gas and speed continues to climb that the next change will be "up".
