"""
Simulate the evolution of a highway with only one road that is a loop.
The highway is divided in cells, each cell can have at most one car in it.
The highway is a loop so when a car comes to one end, it will come out on the other.
Each car is represented by its speed (from 0 to 5).
Some information about speed:
-1 means that the cell on the highway is empty
0 to 5 are the speed of the cars with 0 being the lowest and 5 the highest
highway: list[int] Where every position and speed of every car will be stored
probability The probability that a driver will slow down
initial_speed The speed of the cars a the start
frequency How many cells there are between two cars at the start
max_speed The maximum speed a car can go to
number_of_cells How many cell are there in the highway
number_of_update How many times will the position be updated
