GM had been developing their own DCT a few years ago. I knew someone doing dyno testing on them. I also had a chance to drive one back in 2013 as part of a development program. At that time it didn't drive well nor did it shift well. Either GM is still developing and refining or they've canned it in favor of buying something which already works.
