stands for Direct Shift Gearbox.
It's the Audi equivalent of the BMW SMG, Ferrari F1, Lambo Egear (...) gearbox.
Not an auto transmission although it can act like one in Auto mode.
Basically a robotized manual transmission with electronic command of the clutch and gear changes through paddles behind the steering wheel.
Not to be mistaken with a say Tiptronic which is just an Automatic transmission with upshift/downshift buttons (much slower gear changes).
