I know that there is discussion about inviting a Jew for Shabbos or Yom Tov, where he will drive a car to get there.
Does anyone know Rav Ovadia Yosef's opinion about this matter?

Why would you expect ROY's opinion to be distinct from those of other authorities on this matter? – Isaac Moses Jan 20 '16 at 19:01

1@IsaacMoses He is asking about Rav Ovadia Yosef's opinion as the Sefardic Posek. The answers in what you say is a duplicate give Ashkenazi poskim. – sabbahillel Jan 21 '16 at 01:26

@sabbahillel, why would Sefardi and Ashkenazi pesak on this be different? – Isaac Moses Jan 21 '16 at 01:30

@IsaacMoses I would not expect it, but that seems to be the question. Is there a difference? – sabbahillel Jan 21 '16 at 02:01

DailyHalacha by Rabbi Mansour writes Rabbi Yishak Yosef's opinion, which he got from his father-
The vast majority of Halachic authorities disagree, and rule that one may not invite a guest if he will drive. Having a guest show up at one’s home on Shabbat by car, and then leaving by car, causes a Hillul Hashem (defamation of God), in that it creates a public desecration of Shabbat.
