Answer 1

You, can also add @NotEmpty to the collection.

public class Car {
  @NotEmpty(message="At least one passenger is required")
  @Valid
  private List passengers = new ArrayList();
}

this will ensure at least one passenger is present, and the @Valid annotation ensures that each Person object is validated
