You could use something like this:

ArrayList owners = new ArrayList();

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(new File("path/to/your/file.csv")));
String line;
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {

    String[] entries = line.split(",");

    CarOwner owner = new CarOwner(entires[0], entries[1], entries[2], entries[3]);

    owners.add(owner);
}

Do you have a real csv file (all values separated by ,) or are they separated by spaces or something like that? In that case you'd have to replace the , with spaces.
