"""
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
